    Music contains some intangibles.
    As an art form and as to what is happening in the brain, there I will agree with you that there are too many intangibles, at this time. I also believe that the incredible complexity of the environment where the speakers radiate and the sound waves phase, dampen and reflect make modeling daunting, but the transmission of a few channels of audio where a data sampling rate of 390 kHz is pretty high is nothing for interconnects that can pass more than 100MHz. I think a spectrum analyzer attached before and after the cable will show if there is any signal loss or noise generated. This is hard data, but I don't know if this is done. My other prejudice is any confounding effects. This is like the athlete that attributes his good health to non-smoking. The individual that is willing to spend for "Monster" cable is likely to do everything a little OCD and I'd expect his system to sound really good.

    Quotes from steve-o

    Looks like they're serious. I re-read most of that article about storage in HDD and SSDs and yep .. looks like seriousness
    About as serious as our jailbird buddy Jim Bakker who will be happy to provide you with survivalist gear, long term food rations, backup generators and whatever else needed to get you through the coming apocalypse for a small donation to the ministry...

    yeah because i am the underprivileged, one of my friends gets the better quality stuff and from time to time i talk scene into him and we build some equipment and i get his hand me downs and thats a huge step up for me and i get to scavenge a bit too and we both agree that monster cable is still a joke, we usually build out own interconnects and use and up date vintage equipment, since i am a qualified electronics tech it lowers the cost a great deal, my speakers are from 1986 but with updated crossovers i would put them up to speakers 10 times there cost.
    The best joke i have seen are the little green disc addons for CDs aside from protecting the disc from scratches they have no point. the best i have seen to date is some one putting peanut butter on the label side pf the disc have having it play great, that and double azimuth vcrs, they all where double azimuth.....
    Now one i will agree with first and second gen cd players did indeed have a flaw that was fixed with the DAC the major flaw u have found with monster cable(aside from cost and hype) of the fit so tight the can bust off the rca jack or bust off inside the rca jack
    my joke is gold plated optical cable
