Can anyone actually tell any differences in sound quality between these?

I'm noticing the Straight Wire have a touch more clarity, bass and extension, while the Snake Oil sound more euphonic with a bright tilt.

I've had the snake oil cables a few times. They're bendy and transparent, but they really do sound the same as any other. Do a blind test and hear for yourself if you can guess which your hearing more than half the time. So many cables have been measured and no audible difference unless they're defective.

The WBC Mogami 0.5ft cable sounds better than both of these.
