And so by your own admission, you have no good evidence that those alleged "high performance cables" sound different from large heavy gauge speaker wire...
How can you find evidence when they have never been tested? How many times do you need to be told the same thing before you understand the concept? Three? Four? Never?
And that was mtrycrafts' point then and still is, I think.
His point? He claimed that there were tests that included what he dismisses as "expensive cables". He lied.
How does one know whether a cable is "high performance" or not?
Smart people know several ways. Do they achieve a low dielectric constant? Zip cord clearly does not. Do you test what countless critical listeners say sounds good? Why would you possibly want to do that?
How could one test a hypothesis which has no definite meaning?
The answer involves a very complex procedure that is likely far beyond your level of comprehension: you include them in your tests. Did you get that?
I'm done with kindergarten for today.
