It belongs where it is. I'm asking you if there are scientific reasons that prove that no working 10 ft speaker cable or 1 m interconnect can ever sound different from another working 10 ft speaker cable or 1m interconnect. I say "working" to stipulate that the cable in fact moves the signal from point A to point B to differentiate from others using the word "broken"... as in that oft-heard declaration, "all cables sound alike unless one is broken".
How is this not a technical/scientific question? I'm not stating here that cables absolutely make a difference; I'm asking if you believe that they cannot.
> If you want to sell me that cables make a difference, all you have to do is prove it. <
I don't. It makes no difference to me if you believe it or not. Even if I posted my proof, you wouldn't believe it (not that you necessarily should). It's up to you to prove it to yourself if you have any interest.
