Obviously you still don't know it really is placebo effect. Even medicine must go through blind testing because of this phenomena. It is not me saying, it is every scientist out there saying and every test ever taken place confirming. There is not one (1) properly done blind test confirming that people can hear the difference between cables. For some time you could even win a million dollars if you pass the test (maybe it's still on - Randi Million Dollars challenge). Why am I so convinced? Well because I read about the research, searched for months for a positive answer and finally taken a few blind tests which changed my opinion. I still have all my expensive cables, including power ones...yup I was a chronic believer. All the pleasure you got from that purchase is because of the doubt marketing filled you with, so called "piece of mind" when one pays more. You would hear exactly the same music with the plain cables and you can give the same argument about the pleasure for any purchase. -- nuhi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nuhi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10571 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45323
