How about a little debunking, eh?
I hear more of a "difference" in sound, if I listen to music when I wake up in the morning, versus the evening period for listening. I hear a "difference" whether the lights are on or off. I also hear a "difference" if I had a glass of wine before listening or no wine before... What I am saying is, the psychological effects of the "experience" is contributing to the "sound" also. I dare say perhaps more than speaker wire and RCA cables that cost 1400 percent more than some others you might buy for, say, 75 cents a foot?
I owned and engineered as a full time carrer in my recording studio for over 10 years in the 70's, and I know none of the hundreds of yards of mic cables and console wiring or patch panel TRS connectons or Mastering Tape decks, had any of this exotic "silver soldered" or "Pure copper oxygen free wire" used in their fabrication. And still, myself and my recording friends around Los Angeles in the 60's and 70's achieved some of the greatest sounding recordings ever made. How did we do that without all the "magic" wire interconnects? I can tell you how, THEY DON'T MATTER!!! A few measley inches of wire at line level from a preamp to power amp hardly matters at all..... How many dozens of Yards of "low grade" cable did the low level signal go through before it got to the studio mic preamp, then at line level to the tape deck, back to the console for mixing then to the 2 channel tape deck for recording then to the play deck to the disc cutting mastering lathe facility all that before it gets to, let alone leaves your preamp? ... What does matter? Mics matter, Preamps matter, well set up decks matter, good tape matters, exotic, expensive ultra special Silver Cables don't matter, ... But people hear what they want to believe they hear..... The end....
