Please provide an example of what you would consider a scientifically valid experiment that is not a DBT. If you have some, I'm honestly interested.

Why not? If LCR characteristics are all there is to cables, why do some of them sound different? I've tested this. Blind. Just not double blind.

To the best of my recollection, I've never made such a claim. They may be perfectly sensitive enough. The problem is that no one knows for sure.

Superior? Again, I've never said that. I have said that at some point, they are all that's necessary. But not superior. The tests I think are superior are long term single blind tests. I have yet to insert a cable and find it different sounding immediately. It takes some time. The problem with my current testing method may be that I don't allow enough time during the testing phase... mostly because I don't want it to control my listening for pleasure.

Wasn't it you that chastised me for strawmen? It seems you've created quite a few yourself! :)
