Noted. I suppose I'll ABX with between 3-10 passages that I'm familiar with. We are talking about cables here so it shouldn't be as challenging as source resolution (16/44 vs Hi-res). I expect dramatic differences and if I don't experience that sighted, then I'll report that here. If all goes as expected then I can have a friend help with a blind test before the official. I'm not out to pull an "I told you so!" and I don't expect to be treated that way if the findings are different that what I claim they'll be. If I follow at least some of your advice then I'll know that an ABX is going to be beyond my ability before setting up the official. Frankly, I've never ABX'd throwing a thick blanket over my speakers, but I doubt too many would doubt that the sound quality is diminished appreciably. I expect to find a difference in sound that is not too far off from that example.
