Negative results of listening tests

Try reversing the direction of speaker cables sometime. That should be pretty obvious.

Limitations in any audio system can sometimes limit that system's ability to reveal what's going on with cables. Negative results can be misleading. Testing for differences in audio are not at all like taste tests or pharmaceutical tests in that there is an entire system in audio tests between the thing being tested and the listener. A lot of things can go wrong. In audio tests it's probably never placebo, always an error in the system somewhere.
