My impression given my own tests, is that audible differences between cables are largely due to shielding etc ie noise

 

Yup my experience also - grounding and shielding method and impedance matching (or mis-match). I've learnt a lot about all that from John S along the way.

Whether it's due to grounding, shielding or impedance matching, the point is that the choice of interconnect cables can make an audible difference.

 

Yup that’s what I’m saying. If people are looking for technical mechanisms for how, it could be those 3 factors, as a starting point I think.

All of these factors can be taken into account in an inexpensive, well designed cable. No esoteric materials or novel designs are needed; this is something that the electrical/electronics industry has done well for many decades.

 

Yah but an audiophile cable with an impedance mismatch or shield which allows groundloops through the shield could well sound different in a system.

 

Not saying better, just saying different.

I've seen so many of these made, so know how the scene goes.

 

Most was predictable.  But the "did you try with the Russ Andrews Mains Zapperator?" caught me off guard. That was a good chuckle.
