"The cable test will be ABX. Here is cable A, here is cable B, here is an unknown - please identify it.
I will run this test across several different selections that will have different attributes to them -
female vocals, piano, rock, etc. //
Here are the results from the first blind cable test that I have conducted. I plan on continuing
to have tests similar to this in the future, which should increase my samplesize considerably
over time.
Interesting notes:
One participant, #2, stated that some tracks were easy to spot. He said that the Godsmack
track was very obvious - it was like night and day. He did not get that track correct, though.
(3/5 got it right)
One participant, #5, stated that he was fairly certain that he could hear a difference, but as
the test progressed, he wasn't so sure. He got the first 3 correct and 4 of the first 5 but only
ended with a total of 7 right out of 16. It was possibly the most accurate observation noted
at the event.
At the end of the test, I asked people to put down which cable they preferred, Cable "A" or
Cable "B" and 4 people preferred cable A over cable B - not that it matters when nobody could
convincingly show they could tell the difference and only one of the 5 in the test scored better
than 50%.
Speaker cables used were:
1) Straight Wire Virtuoso H 15' pair with locking Bananas. Price - $1,900.00/pr.
2) Generic 12 Guage cable made by Atlas Wire and Cable Corp. Price - $6.00/pr.
5 people took part in the initial test. The results are as follows:
Participant - # correct

#3 - 6 out of 16 (37.5%)
#4 - 10 out of 16 (62.5%)
#5 - 7 out of 16 (43.75%)
Total - 37/80 (46.25%)
SACD - 11/20 (55%)
CD-R Black 5/10 (50%)
Redbook CD 20/45 (44.44%)
