A question about the logic of interconnect cables


This question has always been with me...without a satisfactory answer to date.

Why do we not use the same internal wire ( for interconnects) that manufacturers use which feeds their outputs or inputs internal to their product?? It would seem to me that this wire's quality (regardless of what we use eternally) is a limiting factor in the first place

Example..I have an ARC Tube Preamp and ARC tube amps...why do I need "special " interconnects when in fact, the wire used to feed the output of my XLR preamp output is the same identical wire beyond the xlr input of my amps?

I would appreciate some logic here.....Thanks

You very well could solder your cables board to board, but how practical would that really be?

I've seen, the odd time, a component with seperate power supply, modified in such a way, but woe to he that has to move the components around, etc.

-not to mention the elaborate ritual that would surely be made of a/b testing of various cables....for what minute degree of improvement?
