It's also plain physics that component interconnects
CANNOT affect the sound ONE BIT unless the equipment
concerned is inappropriately engineered or defectively
designed. The use of valves (tubes) would be a case in
point with their typical high output impedance and hence
sensitivity to cable capacitance.

It's really very simple. Audio pros have known all this
for many decades.

One of the big ironies of life is that pros use pro equipment built and
wired to pro standards to make the vast majority of all recordings. If
so-called bad wiring hurts sound quality, then the damage is done in spades
on the recording/distribution side.

Some consumers have been sold a bill of goods about how an expensive 8 foot
power cord or a 1 meter interconnect can somehow undo the effects of miles
of power line and 100s of feet and many runs of signal cabling.

No harm was done by the wire, so nothing needs to be done to fix it.
