Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?

>>>>Uh, but nobody’s making that claim. No one is claiming he can fly or that UFOs are real, either. That’s what we call a Strawman Argument. People can think up all kinds of absurd cases that have no relevance to the actual issue at hand

What? All sorts of zero evidence based claims are in this very thread.

I view a claim of a improved bass response due to a change in Ethernet cabling is just as specious as a claim you can flap your arms and fly.

I've only seen one person have the intellectual honesty to go ears only.

I've come to the conclusion that this thread is a Uri Geller convention.

Talking about just using my ears, isn't that what we are supposed to be doing in this hobby of ours. Can anyone say that they have listened to say three ethernet cables and one is made of copper, one of silver and one a cheap bit of wire and say there is no difference in quality from each. That is utter codswollop because there is going to be a difference in the copper and the silver straight away and if your ears are clean you will definitely hear it. If not save yourself a lot of money and buy a boombox.

It baffles me that a trivial question that was correctly answered in the second post:

Cat 6 cable is certified for far more data throughput than you will ever need for audio.
