What Is The Average Objectivists Beliefs On VGA Cables?

I'd like to limit this discussion to VGA cables your typical or average audiophile / music lover would encounter on their computer system. Not some obscure example that will allow you to claim I never said ALL cables!
(Nor will I discuss DVI, which produces some of the most sterile, lifeless images I've ever seen).

So for the sake of this discussion;

1) VGA cables are 3-4.5 feet.
2) Monitor Powercords are 6-8 feet.

Now if all these VGA cables spec the same and are of a suitable gauge and all components are functioning properly, do you or do you not believe visible differences can be seen, between different manufactuers/dealers? How can this be, when my Videophilia Silver VGA cables simply look so much better?!
I have SEVERAL friends who have also witnessed how much better my monitors picture looks in MY house on MY system.
I invite anyone to come to MY house to prove that this is not so.
I will not participate in public tests outside my house. They create too much pressure, precluding me from seeing what I can easily see at home. Plus they are too short in duration. It often takes me weeks of viewing to start to see the improvements in picture quality.

PLEASE understand I'm not trying to imply every VGA cable and power cord looks differently. Afterall, if two different dealers buy a cheap Belden VGA cable, the XYZ and both put their names on it and then sell it, how could it look different?

However, what if we compared these cables; Alpha-Core Inc's Triode Quartz Solid Silver VGA, Nordost's VGA Valhalla and Cardas' Golden Reference VGA? Would visible differences now be seen (other than visual sticker shock)?

cheers,

AJ

BTW, What Is The Average Subjectivists Beliefs On Automotive Braking Systems? Commercial Aircraft design? Skyscraper Elevators?
The Computer Circuits they are typing on? Would these be better off based on purely Subjective Engineering also? I don't mean ergonomic design either. Ground up engineering. I wonder?
