To All Cable Deniers, 1 Very Simple Question.

Sorry for being MIA. With the snow and stuff. And also my aquarium needed my attention. 

@audphile1 To the people that say I’m attention seeking or people that don’t understand the purpose of this thread and the simple question being presented, here is my response.

Again, the question I posed is very simple but also somewhat deep. People that claim all cables sound the same would imply the % of copper content is irrelevant. In the initial post, I asked does 60% sound identical to 98% copper?

0% copper vs 98% copper? 

Gold vs copper? 

So why do I say this question is somewhat deep? Because each cable has 2 ends (2 plugs). Whatever difference there is, you have to multiply it by 2. Because 2 ends.

However, a system doesn’t have 1 power cable. Usually it has 3 power cables, 6 ends. So?

So.... 30% copper x 6

VERSUS

98% copper x 6

I read through the thread but no denier really answered the question, does the difference in copper content still make 2 different cables sound identical?

One thing worth mentioning is, a plug is essentially an extension of the wire, so that you could plug into the outlet. It is still a wire in a different form, a necessary form. 

I kindly request that people start answering the very basic but fundamental question. 

Does copper % matter in sound quality or does it not?

If not, then we might as well switch to a cheaper metal. A system running all ALUMINUM wires sound enticing.

Also, something extremely obvious but also worth noting.

The purpose of this thread is NOT to find out  whether X, Y, or Z is better.

It's purely about whether cables are identical or not identical (in sound quality).

@samureyex I did answer your question if you read my earlier post. 

"Without knowing the % of copper in the plug of your basic cable, can you absolutely certain say it sounds identical to a plug with 98% copper?"

The answer to your question is, "it depends."  There are simply too many variables.

In the case of a power cable, there are many other factors affecting performance, including wire gauge, geometry, shielding, grounding, and contact integrity between the plug and the outlet contacts. In the case of a power cord with adequate sized conductors, suitable shielding, and a snug contact with the outlet, I seriously doubt the delta in copper content between different brands of high end audio plugs would be reliably and repeatedly discernable to listeners.  If you cannot discern a sonic difference between the plugs, then I guess you could say "it sounds identical".  However, I am sure there are folks here who will disagree.
