FRED: Hey Bob, that new Italian restaurant over on 49th street sure has some sweet lasagne. It tastes a lot different than the stuff we get at The Pasta Pot!
BOB: Really? Are you sure? Have you done any DB tests?
FRED: Hey Bob, see that girl in the red dress over there? She looks different than her twin in the blue on the other side of the bar!
BOB: Really? Are you sure? Have you done any DB tests?
FRED: Hey Bob, those leather seats in my new car feel different than the ones in your new car.
BOB: Really? Are you sure? Have you done any DB tests?
FRED: Hey Bob, this cheese smells different than that cheese back in your fridge.
BOB: Really? Are you sure? Have you done any DB tests?
Now you see how ridiculous each of the above response are simply because they deal with one of our human senses which of course is different in each person. BUT....suddenly when it comes to the sense of hearing, the skeptics feel it is perfectly valid to apply a "test" to prove something.
You will always KNOW what kind of wire you are using. Why in the world would you want to test something in a way that it will NEVER EVER be used?
Would you test an electric drill underwater? Would you test a scuba tank in a bike race? Why test a cable without the knowledge of which cable it is, you will never use it not knowing.
The information gathered in a DB test for cables is as worthless as tits on a boar hog for use in real world decision making. The only test that has any validity is a listening test done under the same circumstances that you will be using the product....in your home, in your system. with your knowledge.
Just my little opinion!
