Default Re: Audiophoolery. 'Cable Break In' - I never knew that!

I wonder if a previously unexploited method of metallurgical analysis might be possible?
Firstly, a panel of audiophiles is played a standard sample of music derived from a signal which has been passed through each of a range of pure metal conductors. They note how each sample affects the sound. The standard sample is then replaced by the unknown alloy (presumably burnt-in to the same extent). Its effect on the sound should surely correlate with the 'known' properties of its constituents, in corresponding proportions.
Well why not, if there's anything in these claims?
