Do all good interconnects sound the same?


Before you get angry with me this is not my personal point of view. I have noticed differences in each of my interconnects. But I came across an article by highly acclaimed audio designer Rodger Sanders of Sanders Sound Systems. Formally of Innersound Speakers. His new model 10c won the Golden Ear award for 2010. I've never heard his new system but I like the Innersound stuff I heard. Here is a comment from the white papers on cables cut from his website. What do you guys think?

"There is no doubt that speaker cables can exert a small influence on the sound of your audio system. But interestingly, all well-designed interconnects sound identical". Rodger Sanders

His IC's are fairly inexpensive made from Belden Cable of some form. Has anyone tried them and what did you think?

I am always amazed that some of the people that design some of the best audio components use some of the crappiest components to drive them with or listen to them from. My belief is a good amplifier designer should have experience with a good range of speakers. A speaker designer should have a number of amplifiers/preamplifiers to listen to. More to the point a cable designer should have both tube and solid state amps/preamps and a verity of speakers to design with.
No surprise that Rodger does not.
My opinion you don't need to respect it, my wife doesn't either.
