Ok this test reveals there are differences and some might find that enlightening.

But it doesn't reveal any useful information - the differences are all relative to the system used, as well as our playback system.

So if the point is to reveal there can be differences then the test seems to be succsesful.

However it means nothing in terms of what or even any differences will be audible in a different system. And no audible differences in another system may have nothing to do with that systems resolving power.

If a system is susceptable to interconnect differences then by all means find the most appropriate interconnect. Just remember in the future when making component changes to find the best sounding interconnects again. My experience sometimes more expensive interconnects are better, sometimes they are worse.

Me, one the other hand, buy equipment based on how well it works with my already established system. Equipment that doesn't better what I already have with my current interconnects isn't worthy of a better cable - unless the review comes with cables to be included in the test - which BTW has only happened with components that I have ended up rejecting (sometimes after buying). And unfortunately these cases the more expensive cables purchased for the device prove useless going forward.
