Sure. But I'm not aware of anyone who would argue otherwise.
The Great Cable Debate has never been about issues of simple resistance, inductance and capacitance. It has always been about other aspects. PVC versus Teflon. ETP versus OFC versus OCC. 99.95% versus 99.999% versus 99.999999%, etc.

Let's say the preamp's output impedance is 7Kohm - it doesn't have a low impedance output buffer or follower. Interconnect cables are 20 feet long with 100pF/foot capacitance (common for generic low cost interconnect cables). This combination forms a low pass filter at -3dB at 11,370Hz! This WILL be audible. |
