Audiophile LAN cables


I know very well the importance of cables in a system, and I know very well the difference in the sound they make.
I have been assembly audio cables for my own use for years now, but I never expected how a LAN cable could change the sound of my liquid music so much.
Do you guys have experience in LAN cables?
Do they make a difference also in your audio setup?

As I mentioned, I was going to purchase a higher end LAN cable this morning and came across the review I attached.

Interesting that both reviewers come to the same conclusion regarding better LAN cables greatly improving the sound, but the reviewer I linked said the only place it did not make a difference was from router to streamer.

I wonder if the fact the reviewer had a Node 2 and I have a Node 2i has anything to do with it.  The old system not having enough resolution to tell the difference?
Thanks for the info gill_92.  The Meicord does seem to garner good reviews.  Do you mind me asking from whom you purchased them?  Looking around I only see them being sold out of England.
tvad, which Wireworld cable are you using?

A bourbon connaseur man, someone here has some sense.
The Wireworld Starlight Cat 8 looks nice also. Wireworld certainly is known for making great cables.

What a shot in the dark this has become.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions, now I have something to work with.  I checked out your cables online and they all look like winners.  I am going to take a couple of days to decide.
I just noticed that Synergistic Research has a CAT 7 cable, probably won't be picking this one up.

PRICE:
CAT 7 Ethernet $2995 / 1.0 meter (+$500 per add. 0.5m)

@gill-92 I hope you love your new cable.

And I am sorry that I sidetracked your thread, it was accidental, but thank you for starting it, it was very helpful.
To come full circle, I did decide to order the Supra CAT8, partly because it was the least expensive of the "audiophile" rated cables and truth be told no one had anything bad to say about it.  Other than it was not quite as "full" sounding as the WireWorld.  We shall see.

Thanks again all and stay safe
