Thankyou, you are too kind. A bit like how I cannot understand a lot of the dialogue in the movie A Clockwork Orange.

I find old Paul Hogan shows totally unintelligible.
Can you summarize each of those, so we aren't required to watch them to get an idea of what they are trying to say?
We are trying to move away from video links with no TLDW summary we can work from. Too much nonsense out there to wade through.

They are basically telling you they "heard" differences (Paul says only in speaker cables).Can you summarize each of those, so we aren't required to watch them to get an idea of what they are trying to say?

No need to watch videos on the subject - it is simple enough for anyone to test themselves. Put something with a low dielectric constant and low permeability under the cables to lift them off of the floor and listen for any changes. Somebody herein mentioned using plastic cups, and someone else mentioned wood blocks. Either of those should work pretty well.

Many years ago I shared house with a couple of dudes who were mates from Germany doing a graduate thing in computer stuff in Melbourne. Despite them growing up just 50 kilometers away from each other, they could not understand each other (initially)
As for Paul Hogan, he has a very broad nasal lazy Aussie accent. Not fit for an international stage, although he made good with Crocodile Dundee. I understand that things had to subtitled in the 70s as Americans could not understand Aussie.
Unlike say, Cate Blanchett, Hugh Jackman, Toni Collette or Nicole Kidman who are trained and very precise.

Irony, sarcasm and the intrenet.
Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.[1][2][3]
Poe's law - Wikipedia
Do you mean: :Professionel view on cable risers,lifters ...or do you mean: Professionel view on cable risers,lifters
Edit:
Now I read your other posts in the thread. Okay, so it wasn't meant as irony or sarcasm.

It was good that you pointed that out. Maybe not unusual with RF interference via speaker cables, but with other cables, let's say poorly shielded RCA cables, it can absolutely be a problem. The risk increases with long and unshielded RCA cables. I know you know this but it's worth mentioning anyway when it is sometimes said on ASR that cables have no audible effect on the sound whatsoever. That is a truth with modification so to speak. Or what is it called in English? A truth with a caveat? Or adding a caveat?
Edit:
Something that PMA demonstrated (or it was discussed) in this thread by the way:
Can you hear a difference between audio cables? ABX test
Following the thread https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/stereophile-and-audio-cables.53011/ I have prepared a listening test with 2 different audio cables. The cables are as dissimilar as they can be. The test files can be downloaded from https://pmacura.cz/cable1-2.zip...

It was a joke.
However whether the cables are passing AC or DC is irrelevant. With enough current, the cables could heat up regardless.

They do make a difference, not with all speaker cables but only with speaker cableCan you summarize each of those, so we aren't required to watch them to get an idea of what they are trying to say?

Given some of the responses to your posts, @Purité Audio I feel inclined to mention the bon mot attributed to George S. Kaufman:

Clearly you have a wet sense of humour. What is the point of saying things that are not only untrue but dangerous to the naive? Just one reason. No excuses.
Seriously this is so funny, please I think you are on the wrong forum!
What next bells
Indeed, the cheap ones sound ******

I did put a ;p at the end of the sentence. For some reason it didn't display as an emoticon.
It should have looked like this:
which means it was a joke.I guess this was lost in translation.

I disagree. On ASR the person ought to be provided with the correct advice and treated with respect.
There is no such thing as a stupid/funny question if asked in good faith. That some answers have been mocking, this is a reason that ASR may be viewed as unprofessional.

That is not a valid test as you are not controlling any of the variables that matter. i.e. your bias.
Step out of the room, put on a blind fold, have someone move the cables for you, then have them lead you back in when you are ready to listen. Repeat.
