There is no magic in cables. Audio signals can be easily measured. Any of the commonly used conductors in audio cables will transmit a signal without any audible degradation. There is no active element in cables that is modifying the audio signal. Any differences you think you hear are the...

That's what I wanted to know. Thanks for the answers!
