Amazon Basics, Audioquest, Morrow audio RCA cables Compared

For those that aren't aware, the Cable portion of the Audio Asylum is a welcoming place for subjective cable discussion.

In fact, they actually reject any sort of scientific or objective evaluation (including blind testing) of cables and their effects.
They designate alternative opinion offerers as "cable naysayers." It's excellent fun.

I've read those threads.

They're big into cryo.

They're even into 'DIY cryo' of people just sticking cables in their (not very cold) home freezers...

I'm waiting for this thread to hit 20 pages, with members showing up on each other's doorsteps to strangle each other with their favorite cables.

How can I have a favorite cable if all the competently designed ones sound the same?

I'm joking, of course, but cable discussions are the internet equivalent of starting a barroom brawl. You walk in, innocently proffer that some cable X is better than cable Y, and the fight is on. Almost never fails.

Well, I won't start a fight about cables.

But connectors, it's game on!

Why is it that the most vocal proponents of this dogma are only able to “trust their ears” with the help of their eyes ?

Because, when you are listening to the highest capacitance interconnect cables available made in the back of a small record shop in small town America, they have to look good.

God help me, I want those!

I guess these convey that 'lit up from within' sound.

Just pick the one that looks nicer.

Wouldn't the favorite be the most affordable competently designed one? Or I guess it could also be the prettiest one.

My favorite is typically the one that reaches to where it needs to go without too much extra left.

I like the cables that are soft and don't leave noticeable welts.

Do they sound the same under double blindfold conditions ?
