We spend most of the time A/B'ing stuff in the studio trying to get the best sound we can.
Good. Then use that acquired experience in listening to wires/whatnot in the studio and being able to tell a difference, to reliably pick out a wire during a DBT. What could be simpler? Finally put to rest the question of the thread title.
I don't know what you think the purpose of a studio is.
If the purpose allows you to to reliably pick wires in a DBT, then use your ability and show it. Why not become the first ever to do so?
Do you know why DBT's are uses throughout science, not just audio? Do you know their purpose? Your needle in eye comment puts that in doubt.
Wrong. I came to the same conclusion as Steve Eddy on my own after I went over it in my mind.
Coincidences happen in life.
Why acknowledge that my hearing is trained now? When a minute ago it was irrelevant and all that mattered was the statistical outcome?
Actually I will be sending him what he requested.
Good. What you think I acknowledge won't affect the outcome. The outcome is all that matters.
Quite frankly, I doubt any result I post will have any relevance for you, so why request it? You aren't here to learn anything.
Continued hand waving and pointing the finger at me in distraction won't answer the question of whether wires are just audio jewelry or not, even if it makes you feel better to release some frustration.
Stop pretending that you're open minded.

Nothing is ever gonna be good enough for you is it?
You or anyone else reliably picking a wire in a DBT will be good enough for me. Can you do become the first to do it, instead of saying you can?
What would qualify as scientific forum for you?
Not Danny's after hrs listening "demo".
There will be tons of industry peers, audiophiles, journalists at RMAF.
Yes, I know. The mere mention of DBT might cause incredulity.
Why do you imply that they are afraid of doing this in front of their peers?
Perhaps you might ask them that yourself? Why hasn't a manufacturer with enough resources (or enough determination) performed or had an independent 3rd party perform DBT's that would finally lay this question to rest?
Plus give them a solid selling point for their ads: "Shown to be an improvement/better/etc using the scientific method instead of "I heard it"."
Since you plan on attending Danny Ritchie's "demo", perhaps you could have him demo what he kindly invited me to come listen to for myself at his shop. i.e. that he could easily hear cable "burn in"? It would be a nice chance for you to see if you too can hear this as Danny says he can. Or is this something you have already done in studio?
I suppose you're also an expert in psychology
No. But I am aware it applies to humans. Are you? Have you ever seen it mentioned by folks making claims about wires and photos in freezers?
and deeply understand the motivation behind why people would want to experiment with different cables
My understanding of motivation is of what relevance to the question of whether someone can identify a wire in a DBT? More hand waving.
The tone I get from you is also very judgemental, which precludes objectivity
I concede expertise in psychology to you.

cheers,

p.s. Dayglow, what happened to that "truth" stuff you edited from you previous post? What was that all about?
