Point taken. However, when we say "differences" ( in this context ) we generally mean "audible differences". And yes, that raises the question "audible to who?", ie. some sonic differences may be audible to some people on some equipment but not to other people on the same equipment, or the same people on other equipment or other people on other equipment. Let's be clear about the issue that we're discussing here... I am not suggesting that all speaker cables are equal; I am saying that a good quality "audiophile-standard" cable will not sound different to a $30,000 boutique cable. ie. as long as the cable is electrically suitable for the purpose for which it is being used then there is no point spending $$$. I would say something similar for interconnects, but with the rider that interconnects are more susceptible to differences in capacitance due to different materials used and physical construction. This is why some cables sound "brighter" or "duller" than others. R. -- "Feed that ego and you starve the soul" - Colonel J.D.
