Default No wonder people can't hear the difference...

Yes, I can go along with that. A lot better statement than the usual 'all
competent cables sound the same'. Much as my electrical and electronic
knowledge would love to agree with the 'all sound the same' argument my
ears tell me (and easily) that they don't. No amount of bullying from here
will convince me otherwise.


Trouble is that statement is not true. What would be true is that to
your ears in YOUR SYSTEM, different cables sound different.

The generalisation you made is certainly not proven.
