Do you love your family?
Prove it.
Do you love them more than I love mine?
Prove it. Give me a spreadsheet on all of that.
How do cable sound is NOT a spreadsheet question.
How cables sound is NOT a checksheet/checkmark question and answer set.
How humans hear IS a checkmark and factual scenario.
That says.. we humans EACH hear Things INDIVIDUALLY.
As our hearing mechanisms are similar, very very similar but the build of EACH is INDIVIDUAL.
And it is trained and bought into existence by our INDIVIDUAL neurology.
If any of what the thread OP asks for was real, then we’d all be dead corralled identical rubber stamp commodities that come out of a human pasta making mold.
There would be no intelligence, no life, no recognition of any form of consciousness or differential.
Note that we do not suffer the horrific dead eyed and dead minded fate of being a perfect replica of one another.
To get that checksheet and simplify the linear engineering mind’s desire for simplicity in cable choices, we’d all have to be essentially...dead.
Pretty durned hefty price.
All that one lives and celebrates would have to die and not be, in order to make for simple cable choices. A case where there would be no individual around to make the cable or the choice.
So... celebrate the complexity, it’s part of LIFE as you know it.
Seriously.

Of course, some things are clear, when the differential is great enough... Like when some company comes along and utilizes a more complex physics, like actual fully blown quantum physics as a living breathing reality within the cable as the primary aspect of it's function. Where the cable is capable of completing the same similar task as wire.. but it does it totally differently. Unquestionably so. No marketing jargon and buzz word lip service. The kind of product that excites actual physicists as they know that it is real, that is the real thing. Let's see if anyone can figure out who that might be...
