Carl,

It would be interesting if you proposed your challenge to the folks at Home Theater Mag. Maybe we could get to the bottom of this issue once and for all.

One of their quotes - "I was shocked, though, to hear how much of a difference some of these cables made when we were listening to PCM stereo from CDs. These are differences anyone—even a nonaudiophile like David—can hear."

Interesting thread, good luck Carl.
