With respect, you're clearly speaking from a position of ignorance (and I don't claim to be an expert). Resistance is not the only factor at play: you're forgetting about capacitance and inductance, not to mention cable topology and dielectric type.

What you're saying is that you've never actually listened to different cables, and refuse to do so becuase there'd be no point 'cause "they all sound the same", whereas I and others are arguing from the position of first hand empirical observation. I know you're wrong stating that cables don't make a difference, because I've heard it for myself. There's no self-deluding going on here.

How about you try this: go to a decent audio specialist and ask to listen to different cables in one of their systems. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. And no, Best Buy et al do not count as audio specialists.
