The Shunyata Research OMEGA-X-Ethernet Cable

You still didn’t provide links to what you’ve worked on. Please do.

Properly engineered well-enough -  such that properly designed cables should not impact sound quality negatively. They pass along the signal and don’t drop voltage or current when doing so. This seems to be a difficult concept for you to comprehend.

And the electronics themselves have the greatest variability with regards to sound character, overall presentation style, and their ability to be detailed/transparent. 

That is engineering. Electronics matter the most. The cables are a bridge from point A to B. 

My understanding of science is lightyears ahead of yours, among many other subjects. You are pontificating rather than producing any logical arguments.

Regarding palates of colors, you have added precisely zero new colors to my paintbox. That is, no new knowledge or insight. Nadda.

You're starting to sound like a Chinese or Russian robot

And enough with your racist attitude, singling out the Chinese and the Russians. What wrong have they ever done to you? It's uncalled for and awful for you to say this.

I think @frank009 has hit a nerve with some of the folks in this forum. You must admit that his case is compelling, but what I would do is to prove that interconnects, power cables, speaker cables, etc.. each have a unique sound signature. It should be really easy to find this on the cable manufacturers website--Oh, wait--Maybe not.

Not too hard to find  https://readdork.com/credits/brian-lucey

Guess artists like Depeche Mode, Black Keys, Green Day, Shania Twain etc just have any run of the mill mastering engineer on the job for them.  Really should check for yourself  before you throw stones

Here are a couple of other links

Please allow him to speak for himself.

I have done my best to write about each of the major parameters that can potentially impact the  sound quality of audio interconnects, speaker cables, and digital cables... The only change that can be made is negative, that is... if they fail or fall short in any of these areas, the sound WILL deviate...

Series Resistance (R) – Determines voltage drop, current delivery capability, and interaction with source/load impedances.

Capacitance (C) – Creates a low-pass filter with the source impedance, potentially affecting high-frequency phase shift and bandwidth.

Inductance (L) – Increases impedance with frequency and can influence HF transmission characteristics and transient behavior.

Characteristic Impedance (Z₀) – Important for signal integrity, especially in high-frequency and digital transmission where impedance mismatches cause reflections.

Shielding Effectiveness / Common-Mode Rejection – Governs susceptibility to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI).

Contact Resistance & Interface Linearity – Includes connector metallurgy, surface oxidation, and mechanical contact quality, affecting signal transfer and long-term stability.

If the above are all within spec, then no such differences should arise between them.

With such properly made cables, you are hearing the full potential of the amplifier, source component, speakers, headphones etc. We cannot cheat physics or undermine decades of research that made audio equipment possible in the first place.
