To All Cable Deniers, 1 Very Simple Question.

@devinplombier and do you have an answer for this eight-grade question?

You're one of those people who always jump into a cable thread and contribute nothing positive.

If copper is copper, and 2 cables have different copper % at their end. Would these 2 cables sound identical?

At what point would the copper % no longer sound identical?

Would a copper cable sound identical to an aluminum cable?

You people claim all cables are the same. Here we know for a fact the cables are indeed different in its copper %. You guys love to prove all cables are the same with your holy "measurement". Can you measure when do cables start to differ?

Unfortunately no one has asked if the plug is 30% copper, then what is the other 70% because that'd be a VERY good question.

"Unfortunately no one has asked if the plug is 30% copper, then what is the other 70% because that’d be a VERY good question."

No mystery whatsoever.  My response early in this thread about outlet metals also applies to plugs.  Most plugs are made from lower copper content alloys of copper in order to enhance strength and corrosion resistance.  Common alloys used are Brass, Bronze, and Beryllium-copper.  The other metals in these alloys typically consist of zinc, tin, nickel, or aluminum.  These alloys are all conductive, just less conductive than pure copper, and have been used in power connectors for many years with the lower conductivity being an inconsequential trade-off in order to gain strength and corrosion resistance.

I believe I fit somewhere in the middle ground with respect to cables.  Being married to an Ivy PhD Economist, we believe in marginal cost / marginal gain.

Only you can determine when the cost to get that last percentage of audio gain (and I do not mean volume,LOL). Is a bridge too far.

Good cables make a difference until they don’t.

Can the OP hear the difference between the copper content in the plug pins?  Yea or nay.
