It seems to me that a corollary of the Audiophilic Truth (everything makes a difference) is "no two things sound the same" - upon which an industry thrives.
To compare the current state of electrical engineering with pre-Columbian or pre-Newtonian scientific knowledge is specious. Physicists and electrical engineers know how wires work. Their properties are not difficult to understand, and my guess is that their performance differences, if any, can be measured by current technology, from a satellite.
Do I think all interconnects sound the same? No. But many of them do sound the same and the differences I hear in the others are very small, less than what happens when you move your head (except in the case of some cables I have heard that are apparently designed to attenuate either the low end or the high end). Just out of curiosity, how do you people who hear all these big differences control for the position and attitude of your personal measuring apparatus (the ears mounted on your head)?
