To All Cable Deniers, 1 Very Simple Question.

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.

Kudos to those of you who went to the trouble of entertaining the original post's eighth-grade attempt at reductio ad absurdum.

Unfortunately, postings like the OP undermine rather than support the legitimate argument that certain cables can in certain cases affect sound quality in a pleasing manner.
