Flat speaker cables versus round core cables


I’ve been out of the audio loop for many years ! Is there a sonic difference between flat style speakers cables versus standard round core cables ? Cheers

flat cables have a flatter response

round cables are rounder sounding... 😁😂😅

on a somewhat more serious note, nordosts typically do sound brighter and more ’spotlit’ among the better branded cables, but i have no idea whether it is due to their physical shape/configuration 

The Silversmith Fideliums are not bright.

Audio Envy SP-12 aren't exactly flat, but they're not round either.

After 50 years of pursuing high end audio, I have never found a single technology overwhelmingly the determinant of the sound quality. It is only one parameter in a mix of many.
 

While I found really cheap interconnects can be categorized into copper, silver coated copper, and silver to predict the ultimate sonic characteristics.

 

Move up a level and you have companies combining, geometry, diaelectrics, metal type, grain length… etc. and one parameter becomes irrelevant. They must be judged on their overall sonic character in your system. 

      OF COURSE: my first post was a joke, EXCEPT for the fact that the Big Silver Oval proved the most neutral cable I’d auditioned.

      Given the plethora of cable construction methods and configurations extant, listening is the sole way to determine what works best, in one’s own system/room and to their ears.  (+1 to ghdprentice)

      Something many ignore is the fact that the more neutral/transparent a cable* is; the more it will reveal strengths/weaknesses, elsewhere in the system (before and after).

           *Or: anything else (neutral/transparent) installed/added to any given system.

      iow: Something that’s ACTUALLY, "better", (as regards transparency) won’t necessarily sound better to the listener, if a presentation change made (something revealed) doesn’t suit their tastes.
