I don't get this not believeing people about cables. If they hear a difference, they hear a difference, end of.
I don't have any problem with people reporting that they heard a 'difference'. My curiosity, etc, however is wrt the question *why* they heard it.
In particular when they advance a belief as to the 'reason'.
This is where what is said may mislead them, and others, if its isn't correct. Even when they *did* hear a difference.
Add to that the fact that a number of tests (one run by Stereophile at a show, for example) show that people tend to hear a 'difference' *even when the same thing is played though the same system twice in a row*.
There are well known *physiological* as well as psychological reasons for this to happen.
