Good cables are shielded well. That she makes them expensive. That's not transmission, that's shielding. I don't think they tested that but for digital audio is not surprising
Even the shielding technologies are way overdone and overpriced in the high end audio market. They act as if they're running their cables through microwave ovens or magnet resonance machines. If you have strong electromagnetic fields around your audio equipment then somethings wrong in the room.
Anybody else read the beginning of the title as "Blind taste test"?
I have a nice setup at my home. The one thing I noticed is when you have a high fidelity setup, EACH song needs a different volume setting. You can't just turn it on and go about your day. You have to run to the living room and adjust EACH song. It's a pain unless you just want to listen to JUST ONE song.
A couple of cheap speakers in the ceiling of the kitchen is "better".
