What bothers me about the subjectivist PoV is that they cant propose a
single mechanism for cables sounding different, just that they do.

Actually, they do occasionally propose 'mechanisms' (e.g 'skin effect'
which was trendy for a while). They also sometimes come up with some
'measurements'. (An example being the claim a few years ago of 'current
dependent phase effects' which I examine on the 'Analog and Audio' section
of the Scots Guide.)

Alas, careful examination tends to show that the 'effects' are virtually
'nil' in practice, and the measurements may simply me erronious...

FWIW I've been investigating this for years in the *hope* that there is
something to it! I'd love to find an interesting feature in the physics or
enigneering which I can then understand. Alas, the snark seems to be a
boojum thus far... :-)

Slainte,
