Bill,

Please show your testing methodology for this cable and show verifiable evidence that the claims are false.

Bill,

Please show your testing methodology for this cable and show verifiable evidence that the claims are false.

The onus is on the reviewers (And manufactures) to show verifiable evidence so that anybody can check that the claims are correct, (Check your old school science books to see how to use it) not the other way round.

Salty. Standard psuedo-intellectual response of course and a tacit admission that you've neither tried nor tested this cable.
Actually, the onus is on you to disprove, as you don't have a gun to your head forcing you to read the review nor buy the product. Maybe brush up on your understanding of capitalism...

The easiest test is the level matched double blind test which removes any bias and placebo effect.
No manufacture or reviewer has yet provided evidence using this test (Which is a standard scientific test used for all sorts of items) that proves that cables make a difference, providing there specs meet the requirements for the items concerned.
As I have said in many posts on cables, if you believe it makes a difference (Even if in reality it doesn’t) and you can afford it then go for it, as it’s your happiness.
The point I have issue with is that many newbies come to this and other sites looking for facts on what’s best for them, and believing that what the reviewers and manufactures say is the truth, when in actual fact, that without verifiable evidence, it is purely subjective opinion.
If facts have no relevance to you, or you get upset when people call things out, best to stay off forums, as claiming that opinion is fact will always be called out.

"...claiming that opinion is fact will always be called out".
In that case, please show your testing methodology for this cable and show verifiable evidence that the claims are false.

Whilst I don't entirely agree with Bill, the burden of proof lies with the person making the claims.

Don't you just love cable threads...

 

[Bloke]

Don't worry... the cable threads of today will be the streaming threads of tomorrow. Which router? Which codec?

Bill asked his question in response to What Hi Fi admin saying:

Seems to me that subjective reviews have no legal or moral obligation to double-blind test components.

Consider this: two speakers of the exact same physical parameters, whose crossover topologies are identical. Except that one uses high-quality caps, resistors etc. No one would bat an eyelid to read that there is a difference in sound. Yet the minute cables get reviewed...

Maybe not, but it would add credibility if they did.

 

[Bloke]

Agreed.
