With all due respect to Jadem6 and your excitement over the Emotion, we need to be careful not to jump to the wrong conclusion here.
A perfect square wave is the sum of an infinite series of sin waves. It is impossible to generate exactly, and no wire with any impedance will pass it exactly. In theory, only a wire with resistance, but no capacitance and no inductance, can pass a square wave without creating distortion. So wires with low impedance are preferred if this is the goal.
Kabala-Sosna claims that their Emotion has the lowest overall impedance of 31 competitive cables (which they do not identify). However, it is still not zero. So it would not be accurate to say it can pass a perfect square wave. In fact, it is careless to assert that there is no other cable that can pass a square wave as well as the Emotion, since all other cables have not been tested. If low impedance were the only design goal, it would not be difficult to achieve. However, there are other factors in cable design and these all must be taken into account.
So, Kabala-Sosna is doing something different, and many believe it is better, however, it isn't necessarily "the best" or "totally uncolored" when compared to others. Remember, the cable effect is also dependent on the componants it connects, and these dependencies may override everything else.
I have the Emotion XLRs and find them extremely musical and listenable. However, in my system, I don't believe they are necessarily the most neutral for purposes of a reference. The most neutral is not always the most listenable, but I continue to enjoy them anyway. I don't like neutral food either, and enjoy adding some spice.
