Jenks,

it sounds like you spend quite a lot of time doing experiments with
cables.  You may not care about this, but no one (outside the
audiophile world at least) will take your results seriously unless they
are properly controlled - meaning blind and randomized.  So it might be
worth trying.

I'm not saying you have to do this, or even that you should - you can
do anything you want, of course - but at least for anyone
scientifically minded the results mean literally nothing unless the
experiments are properly controlled.  Imagine you had  a defective
equalizer with settings that change over time, either randomly or (even
worse) in response to the type of cables you attach.  Suppose you hooked
this thing up to your system and then proceeded swapping cables and
trying to identify differences.  It would be impossible - you couldn't
distinguish the effect of the cables from the effect of the equalizer. 
That's a more or less good model for your (or anyone's) brain.
