So Elizabeth, you've deemed that this is either a Troll, or at least a trollish question.
It seems fairly reasonable and honest question to me. Can YOU explain in common parlance or techniocal terms the difference" - or is it just easier to use it as an excuse to attack the OP.
Why not just say as you've done before the (sniff) "apparently your ears or your equipment can't tell the difference so good for you" (sniff) response.
Just because you see a need to respond to every thread doesn't make your opinion any better than anyone else's - just FYI.
Anyway - to the OP - cables are made out of all different materials, in varying quantities and qualities, using various methods of combining them. Everyone claims they're better than others, and have found some semblence of the Holy Grail.
Is there a difference in sound - yes; is it major - not really; do some components sound better with some brands than others - yes; is there hype, bullshit, smoke and mirrors involved - yes; can you get "great" performance for "good" money: yes.
And don't be afraid to ask reasonable questions, even if the self-anointed feel it necessary to provide self indulgent opinions.
