It's Simple
My co-worker always buys Sutter Home wine @$4 a bottle.  He says he cannot tell the difference between wines.  He doesn't say there is no difference. 
Thinking out of the box here. It might make some defensive
One man answered an add for a music teacher. During an interview he revealed that he didn't teach music and couldn't even read notes, but he came to tell them they shouldn't count on him.It is pretty much the same when somebody claims on cable f... 
It's Simple
Only the R (resistance) matters at audio frequencies (20 hz - 20 kHz). Thinner wire has more R - thicker wire has less R.  The L (inductance) and C (capacitance) of typical speaker wire are of too low a value to affect a music signal. Physics 101!...

Thinking out of the box here. It might make some defensive
Blueranger, You're not asking if there is a difference between cables, but you assumed there is none and made plausible sounding explanation for that.  Now you're seeking confirmation from the others like you.  This is as far from open mind as it ...

Who else here can’t tell little if no difference in high priced speaker cables?  Are you asking who else cannot hear?  Perhaps you can make your point stronger by asking people who can hear not to post?

+1 shadorne.  Negative influence of the cable (resistance , inductance, capacitance, dielectric absorption etc.) is proportional to the cable length.  Connector in comparison is just a tiny fraction of that and plays much smaller role.  As for the... 
Magnepan vs B&W: Same specs, different bass?
There might be other reasons, but isn’t Magnepan’s 35Hz-40kHz a -6dB range, related to 1kHz (I assume)?±3dB is frequency response (flatness) while -6dB is frequency range (related to something, usually 1kHz)Also Magnepans should be pulled many fee... 
Speaker Jumpers - Same Brand as Speaker Cables?
I use AQ bare jumpers:  https://www.amazon.com/SET-4-GOLD-BIWIRE-JUMPERS/dp/B005A5Z758/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1519352772...They also come silver plated.  More expensive jumpers offer fancy insulation material, while bare jumpers (if you can us... 
NAA Clock Timing Improvements w/Asynchronous USB?
mikeb33  Data is delivered from the computer as "frames" at about 1kHz rate.  Each frame contains bunch of samples.  DAC places samples from each frame into internal DAC's buffer and takes data back in order when needed for D/A conversion at the i... 
NAA Clock Timing Improvements w/Asynchronous USB?
mikeb33, The only way it can improve asynchronous USB is by isolating computer noise, that might affect D/A converter clock.  In asynchronous USB scheme DAC operates on internal clock and takes data from the buffer memory.  The only thing USB does... 
Be Careful!
Voltage,(static or otherwise) will always seek a lower impedance,path to ground from the chassis, rather than through any internal electronic  circuitry.It will still seek all possible paths to ground, only majority of the current will go thru gro... 
Do You Care About AESTHETICS? What Are Your Gear/Listening Room Preferences?...
Al, I was looking for beautiful wood and ended up with black piano finish speakers (like Wilson Puppy) that, according to my wife, resembled small coffins.  Over time they grew on us and now we love them. 
Vintage Tube amp worries
When long in storage electrolyte in electrolytic caps eats out dielectric (aluminum oxide) lowering breakdown voltage.  Presence of voltage rebuilds dielectric.  Power amps thru variable power transformer starting with 50% and increase voltage to ...
