What utter nonsense. The guy not only tested it but he listened to it.

That is what I was getting at - but he did still guess the description difference identical to me - not even in the same building or at the same time - what is the probability % of that as a guess?matt49 said:

It does kinda make you lose the will to live. The simplest argument is this:
1) I invent a directional cable
2) If it is directional there will be a difference in the signal coming out of it depending which way round it is connected.
3) So I get an independent lab to record the two different signals and demonstrate and certify the difference. This would cost very little and would make me a fortune as I could dominate the market.
So why haven't all those companies who sell "directional" cables done this? It should be easy and it should be cheap. There is only one answer - they can't do it because there is no difference.
There is no need to discuss the science or indeed the sound. Show me the difference and I'll believe it and the scientists will work out an explanation.

PS If you could make directional cables there would be applications in many areas and you would be a very rich man or woman.

I didn't read the whole thing, but he says he attached 12g cable to both sets to make then reach binding posts. This makes the test completely useless doesn't it? If the sound quality from 14g to 12 G is more noticeable than the varying cables on test, the the 2g difference is he largest factor for a sound change and therefore no difference will be heard by the tests he is trying to investigate. Again, I'm probably missing something.

You mean: what was the probability of you both being wrong in the same way? Quite high, I should think: first there's a 50/50 chance of him guessing which file was "degraded", and second there's a high probablity of him using similar language to you, because the audiophile vocabulary is actually quite small. Did he mention "inky blackness" by any chance?
Thats a bit of an insulting set of comments matt49 but I laughed at them anyway, well writtenmatt49 said:
Its not about using the same language its about how do you define how different something sounds to something else then put that into a % of probability of 2 people identifying the same when neither are together, the second party not privy to any info of whats going on and both are bit perfect rips/ files
Why did he not say No Different they sound the same? I am way off topic with this anyway so I am stopping. Good comments by the way - very clever
Bit of light heartedness - better than a picture of a squashed turd or a kangaroo or somethingiMark said:

Oh Dear - you have not read the other posts - I said the opposite - Rich people are rich because they are not fools. Thats petty digging at me there.
Someone wrote that the video was designed to rob fools of their money, my point was if they can afford to buy it then a fool is the last thing they will obviously be

Sorry I did not read all the other posts as there is so much rubbish on here. Your logic just about sums you up. Many people would think people who buy such items have more money than sense. So money makes people intelligent now? You ever heard of upper class twits?
IMark - I sent him 2 files and I was honest in writing on here, not everyone it that I might have said to him can you hear a difference? He did not know anything about the files - they were just called A and B to him.iMark said:
I admit by asking something like "can you hear a difference" you create a potential expectation bias - but how else do you go about something like that - how else was I to get him to listen to them and report back to me what he thought without asking a question. Its impossible

How do you want me to respond to your comments / questions Covenanter?
You act as I if I am trying to sell you something and accountable to you for that, this is not the case I will remind - I merely pointed you (forum users) to a video where its shown in a demonstration and in that demonstration appears even on a video to have an impact on the sound of that system.
FOUL
If someone can insist on his question being answered then I should insist someone answers mine too in posts ..
60, 67,74,96,111,197,201,214,226,249,322 & 337.
Anal for me to check for my own unnanswered posts? Ill answer this question of my own..... Yup. Totally.

Here's my question - Has anything new been said in the last 20 pages, that wasn't said in the first 5?

TBH. I have a complete lack of interest in the directionality of cables, but am curious as to why people have the insatiable need to argue about it, by saying the same things over and over an...........
I only joined the thread to lighten the mood.

So we can't even agree on what hasn't been agreed......which sounds about right. *crazy*
