RE: Yes but no....

I think I know what you're saying but I don't exactly agree. With wires, I do agree that perception is all that matters, since measurements don't seem to tell most of the story with wire. But it's been noted that most wire has a particular "sound"... a sonic signature that should be evident (by someone) in just about any system. If Cable A is bright in my system, it's bright in yours, albeit possibly in varying degrees. It's still perception but it's now become arguable, as the widely-held "objectivist" claim of all wires sounding identical is being threatened by a claim of a different sonic signature (perception) from one wire to another.
