Perhaps we can bridge the gap a little:Obviously, if a cable is perfect in that the electrical signal exiting is the same as the incoming signal, then it won't have a sound.
I don't see how anyone can disagree with that.
Assuming that all real cables differ from perfection in some way, the problem is deciding which deviations result in a sonic difference.
In order to come up with a quality rating, we need to have a weighting system for the various measurable characteristics that mirrors their impact on sound quality.
That's where all the argument comes in.
Can we agree so far?
One note: If all the sound quality reports turn out to be imagined, then I guess the weightings can all be the same...
