Would all cables sound alike under DBT test?...Probably not!

Anything that compensates for serious room deficiences is worth considering.

I'm not pointing this at you or anybody else for that matter, but if some folks are as serious about home audio sound as they appear to be, then pursuing room acoustics, speaker placement and equalization would, IMHO, have the potential for real sonic improvement compared to cables and other tweaks. Anybody can buy a hot rod power cord or speaker wire but it would take some imagination and research to pursue the goal of acoustically upgrading your room and I believe that would be a pursuit that is worthy and much more likely to give real, positive improvements.

Re the National Anthem, it's too hard to sing.

That doesn't stop some people, does it? Being a Canadian, I would have to say ours a quite a bit easier to sing.

That last note in the second last line "...O'er the land of the free.." is a doosey. On the American Idol finale, Tamyra Gray sang it and I believe she may have hit that note although not with a lot of volume.
