Anyone who can prove otherwise in a blind test, can collect
£1,000 from me personally. That should buy some decent cable!

I wonder what odds Stevie Boy would give?

I'd be more than happy to give him good odds, if he'd like to lay
down some money, and put his ears where his gob is! :-)

However, the above offer is actually a prize rather than a bet.

I wonder if Steve'd try for the prize, he's got nothing to loose but
reputation.

I remember a similar prize being ofered a few years back on a US site. As
far as I know it is yet to be won, despite a few claims. Of course, it was
the test's fault they couldn't tell the difference.

Well Mr. Pinkerton you've obviously forgotten that in the last cable
row (well there seems to be many.. I been away a while from the group)
on here I did actually offer :-)

So what DID you offer? I'd be up for a wager, so long as its double blind
and repeated several times (to rule out the fact that anyone can be right
in an A/B test 50% of the time). On any system, with any music, comparing
49p/m maplin heavy duty cable against whatever your curent preference is.
I'm sure a few people here would be discharitable enough to take you up on
this!
