I have a hard time understanding how aftermarket cables are anything but placebo in terms of Sound quality

EDIT- title got cut off
"in terms of sound quality"

Please, by all means correct me if I'm wrong but...I thought that the worst that could happen with a low quality/extremely thin cable is a bottlenecking of incoming signal.Doesn't copper wire have too little resistance to add any impedance to the whole sound chain?
Even with my sennheiser 428(which have THE WORST CABLE OF ALL TIME), I don't feel like any sound is actually missed. I do hear the minute things that I would with my other headphones that have much better cabling(by comparison).

Someone give me an argument for why I'm wrong. I sincerely want to be proven false if possible

This is the wrong forum for posting a thread such as this. Also, the use of the word "placebo" is prohibited on HeadFi as per the posting guidelines (it is considered a "weasel" and "derogatory" word).

Might want to head over to the Sound Science part of the forum and rephrase.

Ok then. How do I move the thread or delete it?

A moderator would have to do that.
