Many of the best studios of the world are wired with high quality cabling. For example Abbey Road Studio Two, which was The Beatles second home in the 60s, is wired with van Damme cables. If cables don't matter why don't they use cheaper cables?

That may be your opinion, but when it comes to identifying small differences this would indicate it's probably the best way http://audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/aes-paper-digest-sensitivity-and-reliability-of-abx-blind-testing.186/#post-4178
We had knowledgeable comments on the first page, so, please, take good not of them.
The only thing I could add, is that a blind test should have a person that is controlling that nobody cheats, and control the sampled results. You can naturally make "light" blindtests, that can have a form of use if you are open minded.

I find informal ("light") blind testing, providing it is done with reasonable care, to br a real eye-opener for anyone who has not tried it. Sure you need someone to run the tests, but it can be pretty straightforward, you are not doing academic research here, just having a bit of fun and learning about our hobby.
Even well known components, ones that you 'know' sound different, can be incredibly hard to pick when level matched and listened blind, just how hard tends to surprise every enthusiast taking part.

I prefer to choose a TV based on flavor and can spend hours in John Lewis brows-licking the tellys.

It seems when something simple and logical is put across people just feel the need to be very sensitive about it. Accumulatively ever aspect of a system counts to get maximum performance.
No one knows it all, not even the so called experts. Most seek to get maximum performance from any system, within a price point, this may differ from others. This is a hobby to me, at the same time in my case brings me pleasure of music and movie. The sensitive nature of some here is quite worrying. It begs the question if they actually enjoy music and the hobby as a whole.

I was aiming for humor rather than grumpiness. 🙂
The problem with forums is we're only communicating by text and without body language and tone of voice the message often gets lost in translation.

fair point. I've "heard" differences in power cables (and heard them disappear). Just knowing something is different or has been changed can make the listener hear a difference, even (especially?) if there is not audible difference.
