Backed up this time by, apparently, *presses pinkie to corner of mouth* one million dollars...

I'm with Muralman1. I agree that these blindfolded reviewers should be able to distinguish uninhibited signals through naked cables compared to rubber or plastic or leather. I just have a hard time visualizing it.
naked cables compared to rubber or plastic or leather

Does the blindfold also need to be made from these materials? If so how will the test subject be able to communicate his or her opinion with a ball gag in their mouth?
Leica man, I can demonstrate exactly that such insulations cause distortion.
The distortion is not something of a different taste, as in coke vs. pepsi. It is
rather drinking the coke from a frothy glass, getting just coke fizz, and a
foamless class getting nothing but the sweet tasty coke.
