no, I haven't listened to a cable before and then after being "cooked".
I get what you and others are saying about the substantial difference. My point hasn't been addressed, however, which is on what basis are you/anyone else saying that the substantial difference is an "improvement" as in more accurate reproduction of the source? If you mean to say it is your preference, that is perfectly fine/acceptable. If something else, then I reiterate that by all means please produce a data spec sheet of the particular cable, let's compare it to https://www.belden.com/techdatas/english/5T00UP.pdf and review what elements are "better".
