I am an EE, all my training agrees with you 100%, my ears tell me different.

I was very resistant to the notion of cables having "a sound". Clearly this was non-sense. An audiophile friend kept pushing me to try his Kimber 4TC. Mostly to please the friendship I took his pair home. I knew for certain I wasn't going to hear any difference during the test.

Oops, the Kimber cables removed a hash or edge form the sound, it was cleaner less fatiguing. The change was small but noticeable, a neighbor was visiting, he was curious about this notion, he, my wife and I all heard the same change.

I've never looked back, believe what you want, I could care less. Just allow other's to try for themselves.
