Did a search for that title and nothing came up:
IOSR Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering (IOSR-JECE)
e-ISSN: 2278-2834,p-SSN: 2278-8735.Volume 16, Issue 6, Ser. I (Nov. – Dec. 2021), PP 40-53

An electrical study of single-ended analog interconnect
cables
Abstract:The influence of interconnecting cables on an audio system’s performance is a controversial issue.
This is partly because commonly measured parameters such as resistance, reactance, frequency response, and
common distortions do not show meaningful differences. The present electrical study of line-level single-ended
(unbalanced) analog interconnects, provides a more comprehensive picture surpassing the common
specifications. It was found that uncommon time-domain effects such as reflection sequences and non-ideal
capacitive behavior, along with noise, can better distinguish the electrical performance of interconnects of
different grades.
Key Words:High-end audio; High fidelity; Hifi; Hi-fi; Cables; Interconnects; Psychoacoustics.

Cables that are appropriate for the application, properly designed, and not defective don't make a difference (in proper blind, controlled, listening tests).
