One the question will you "... have the decency to STFU and accept your own statement?"

Answer: Of course not!

What's obvious is that many of the items JA mentions would be considered subtle changes by many an audiophile. For example the orientation of a cables' connected (at only one end) shield, i.e. if the connected shield is grounded at the source vs. destination side. Personally I would have thought that even in the general case such would be difficult to detect even in a non-controlled blind conditions setting.

But this only shows that blind tests *can* be utilized to detect such differences. That doesn't touch upon the issue of how practical such tests are, nor whether they have much interest to audiophiles in general.

Both topics have been discussed extensively here and hence there is no need to repeat. To do, in your case, would be an exercise in futility par excellence, specifically because you have demonstrated again and again that you are perfectly opaque to argument and even facts.

It seems to me that the objectivist method in cases such as JA's testimonial is to discredit the claims, witness the Jon Risch case. This is because the *only* results worth consideration are those that fit their narrative. The rest is a complete waste of time, no less so that attempting to reason with any type of fundamentalist zealot.

Hmmmm ...? Reflecting upon which I'm afraid I have to admit to no small embarrassment, but perhaps with effort I might prove not to be a lost cause, thus ... Goodbye Pat.
