What Is The Average Objectivists Beliefs On Wires?

I've been accused of mis-stating what Objectivists actually believe about wires i.e. interconnects, speakerwire & powercords.

I'd like to limit this discussion to wires your typical or average audiophile / music lover would encounter in their system. Not some obscure example that will allow you to claim I never said ALL wires!
So for the sake of this discussion;

1) Interconnects are 3-4.5 feet.
2) Speakerwire is 6-15 feet.
3) Powercords are 6-8 feet.

Now if all these wires are of a suitable gauge and all components are functioning properly, do you or do you not believe audible differences can be heard, between different manufactuers/dealers?

PLEASE understand I'm not trying to imply every interconnect, speakerwire and power cord sounds differently. Afterall if two different dealers buy a cheap Belden interconnect the XYZ and both put their names on it and then sell it how could it sound different?

However, what if we compared these interconnects; Alpha-Core Inc's Triode Quartz Solid Silver, Nordost's Valhalla and Cardas' Golden Reference? Would audible differences now be heard?
