This is a great idea for a review, but it sounds like a monumental undertaking. Perhaps this topic would be best split into several categories: 1)Is there a difference, and how large a difference relative to other tweaks (vs. other cable changes, power conditioning, etc); 2)Mid-priced cables (since you're starting with a mid-priced cable, the HT), between say $200-600 or so; 3)Low-priced cables, below $200; 4)High-priced cables.
