I'm sorry, did I mention that I don't use cables because they feel like poop? No, that was YOU. I have been working in audio/AV/network for more than 45 years and have hundreds, if not thousands, of very satisfied customers- what do you have, besides cables that feel good, to you?
I asked a hypothetical question, based on actual experience. Most cables DO provide the same sound or close enough that any differences are inconsequential, assuming there's no comparison happening. I HAVE heard cables that degraded the sound terribly, but those were the cheap ones with molded ends that sell for a few bucks. I didn't even need to listen critically, the difference was obvious.
Try to understand what you read, rather than post crap that makes you seem to think you're special.
