I'm an EE and you're friend appears to be missing fundamentals. Cable capicitance
has a dramatic effect on what high frequencies get through among other parameters.
All wire is not the same. That's why for high quality video signals you
need high quality cable with low capicitance so the high frequencies don't
get lost.

There is no magic formula to cables but you do need good quality like canare,
mogami etc. I buy my cables from haveinc.com cuz they are cheap and top
quality canare.

If you hear differences then there are likely impedance mismatches or coloring
from a cable that can't handle the frequencies.
