...because perceive an obvious contradiction.

Well maybe I get it. Are you saying that both are important?
From my own experience--and theoretically--I've got to say that the idea that cables could address that problem meaningfully seems wrong. After all, those effects--sibilance, ringing--can readily be mapped onto properties that are easily measurable--and addressable by room treatments. Room treatments have obvious, measurable effects in the frequency and time domain. The effects of cables--well, you can make those measurements, too, but you'll get no change (unless at least one set of cables is defective). And I am NOT claiming that all cables sound the same!
There's a lot we don't understand about this stuff--well, anyway, there's a lot that I don't understand. But there's also a lot that we do understand. It'd be foolish not to bring that to the table.
Cheers,
Jim
