You seem to think that there is little scientific basis for cables sounding different.
I have posted an annotated cable bibliography before, see:
https://www.audioasylum.com/audio/cables/messages/18/40899.html
Some of the links are broken, others have had the pages moved to another address, etc.
Google the main topic or the old URL, and it may provide a current URL/link to the item of interest.
The articles about capacitance are with regard to the cable capacitance being less than perfect, the articles on inter-chassis potentials relate to cable grounding and shielding, the articles on resistance and copper crystals and grains relate to the conduction of the signal, etc. and so on.
Note that the DIY notes and posts at Geocities are gone, but the content can be accessed via the Wayback Machine (Internet Archive website).
All of the Audio Asylum posts should still be accessible.
I also want to point out that I not only provided a darn good recipe for DIY speaker cables, but for interconnects, digital cables and power cords as well. These are mostly of the "best-bang-for-the-buck kind of projects, and yet provide surprisingly good sonic performance, a cut well above just the standard cables and cords that are out there and come with the product. An inexpensive way to try out some high performance cables to see if you feel it is worth pursuing further.
