So wait, did they send analoge or digital signals through? Because digital means you could send it through anything and as long as it gets through its the same. The cable only matters when you ARENT using digital signals.
Analog, and what really matters for analog signal is if the wire carries load or not.
Like a phono cable from a record player or a analog signal cable from an old sound card matters, but it doesn’t matter how you send the amplified signal to the passive speakers.
This means if you have a HDMI cable going into a decent AVR and speaker cables coming out, you basically can’t do anything wrong.
Makes sense. As long as the transfer medium isn’t highly capacitive or inductive, it doesn’t matter as long as you compensate for the loss in signal strength.
…and now I fell into a research rabbit hole regarding mud capacitance.

If I read it correctly, it was analog and they found that only the signal amplitude was meaningfully changed, not the quality
