Don't feel offended. Your accusation of mysticism is an insult. It is you who's sweating this minor issue. Here's a few links to argue with. Don't argue with me.

Well Duster, I came across this looking for a way never to spend an hour and a half desoldering and almost butchering a circuit board. An 8 pin socket. Geoff's 54AWG SPEAKER wire, now that's mysticism in audio cable. Maybe someone like yourself should completely debunk such nonsense. Tweaker
I am not arguing, just sharing my knowledge and experience.
"Mysticism" isn't an insult, rather it's an apt description of the current state of the affairs in some areas for many of the posters here including me.
It can be a stopover on the road to understanding and it can even be rather fun. If understanding isn't important it can be an endpoint for a particular instance. But it can also be a starting point if general knowledge is desired. However in the case of soldering irons, which are far cruder animals than stereos, I can tell you from much experience with them in every imaginable condition that any functioning extension cord is adequate for achieving good solder joints.
As you well know home audio system are, sadly, crankier and indeed I appreciate your diligent efforts and the observations that you post. They are good data points towards understanding and hopefully improving our systems.
But not all systems have such a gap between control and effective operation.
Regards, Rick
