In Reply to: You describe a nonsense "test" where Monster Cables play louder than thin cables = ho hum (non-science = nonsense) posted by Richard BassNut Greene on June 7, 2008 at 11:14:34:
I was there for the Good Guys monster tests, not only did the Monster cable equipped boombox have more and better quality bass with less distortion, it the cleaner and furthur extended high frequencies, plus the midrange sound more plausible and smoother. Not only that a doubter brought up the fact that the Monster sounded slightly louder. No problem the tester turned the volume down on the monster equipped boombox and it still sounded better with more bass and treble than the straight boombox even though the straight boombox was now louder. And this was with a cheap $200 Panasonic boombox to drive home the point.
I read the nonsense link you provided trying to disprove what everyone can hear with their own ears, it is totally hogwash propaganda and I am sorry you are being mislead by them. You will never in a million years convince people who have heard the big difference that such difference does not exist. I suggest you try some cables from the cable store or another place that gives you 30 days to audition cables and hear what you are missing.
Also with the cable tests my mom and I did in 1979, see link. I also tried turning up the volume on the other cables and even with the monster cable paying at 1/2 the volume of the others it blew them away in bass response but quality and quantity. Do not believe these "slight of hand" magicians trying to prove that everything is the same and everything is banal. No way dude, and you know it. I have no idea why you are playing devils advocate? You very name gives away the fact that you too can hear differences.

Mono is not music to my ears.
