No, what @devilboy is saying is that a *cable* (not a signal modification device) transmits the signal from point A to point B without any modification or attenuation. Cables that *sound* a particular way - irrespective of what the particular sound is - are doing more than conducting an unaltered signal from Point A to Point B. This is a simple truism since Cable A cannot, based on physics, sound different (much less "vastly" different) than Cable B unless one, or both, are significantly altering the signal. Altering the signal is a **fault**, not a feature, in a cable. Now if you want to use cabling to alter the presentation, have at it, but realize that they are, intentionally, designed to be tone controls. Nothing wrong with that (well, except for marketing hype) if that's what floats your boat.
