Yes, L.C. R are always in an AC circuit.

Hi.
Mum told us fire will burn our fingers. The book says electricity will kill if one touches it bare handed.
These are facts that can be verified. Not belief. If one doesn't "believe" it, one should try it first & see what happen.
L, C & R are always part of an electrical conductor with AC signal running through it. Different conductor construction got its different L, C & R values, which contribute its various performance, electrically & hence sonically when the conductor is linked up to conduct music (also AC) signals from one end to the other end.
With the cable linked up btwn two AC electrical networks, like audio amps, the L, C & R of the cable itself will alter to the exsting combined L, C, & R value of output circuit of the sending device & the same of the input circuit of the receiving device, to form a new combined parameter. Different cables will get different effect electrically to the devices involved.
There why a person with normal aural perception should be able to detect such electrical change due to cable of different L, C & R values per the music frequencies, given the reproduction chain got adequate resolving power (not a $5 pocket radio), which should come with most HiFi home systems nowadays.
To answer your question, any cable will alter the AC parameter of the reproduction chain like any component does, & therefore sonic
different exists though one may not detect it.
If one cannot detect it, don't deafly deny such existence. One should check out why one can't detect it. Would it be a lousy sound system or poor ear perception due to whatever reasons.
It is not a matter of belief that simple.
