Look, let's make this simple.
I do not doubt that people "hear" differences in cables. But let's look at facts and not subjective opinion.
Open up any piece of audio equipment and look inside. See all those copper traces on PC board running inside? THOSE are your interconnects and speaker wires.....those are what carry the audio signal around between passive and active modulators. The paths represented there are 30 times longer than your measly 1.0m interconnect or 10 times longer than your lousy 8ft. of speaker wire. AND....those traces are DOING NOTHING......but are under infinitely more stress from interference and signal alteration from EMI and stray capacitance INSIDE of a component than they would be OUTSIDE of it........but does anyone worry much about that??? Well, actually DIY builders do (hence a preference for point to point wiring), but commercial manufacturers certainly don't, and mostly rightly so......
But talk about cables and logic goes out the window......
Again, I don't doubt that people hear or think they hear differences in cables.........I have found that the lower the resolution of the system, the more *evident* a *change* in cabling will be......
Try and concentrate on upgrading the resolution of your audio circuits, and you won't have to worry about the cables that connect them......
