Common sense is usually untrue. It is a meaningless concept. In my experience, I have had two where the cables were identical save for the metal used. One was Audionote and the second Exemplar Portals. In both cases I preferred the silver. What does that prove? Only that I should initially listen to silver cables if both are available.
But there is no consensus about cables. What would I conclude from the two examples above that others might find valuable? Nothing!
