Little to no difference in sound between 2 cables that function as intended in 99% of consumer applications

May I refer you to a test comparing professional cables to a coat hanger, where the results were pretty inconclusive of any audible difference ; https://www.soundguys.com/cable-myths-reviving-the-coathanger-test-23553/

(note that roughly 1/3 said the coat hanger sounded better and 1/3 said the cable sounded better)

Is there a difference? Yes but it's very minor and possibly inaudible, If there's already diminishing returns when comparing a coat hanger to an actual cable that tells you all you really need to know

This isnt to say to completely cheap out on cables either but there's no needs to be spend $100s or $1000s on snake oil cables

if you want a nice custom cable there's plenty of makers around and that'll run you around $80-150 depending on seller and terminations and such . Recommendation from me if you go that route is fogcityaudio on etsy
