The claims all seem subjective to me, so presumably the latter.

I suspect you've been here long enough to know that this section doesn't get WHF replies, though.

Hi Bill,

As you can imagine, science has not fully unraveled the mysteries of human hearing and brain perception. How we each perceive what we hear is not necessarily the exact same way. This alone makes the musical listening experience as complex as the making of music itself.

Now add to this brew the physics of designing speakers, electronics design of amplifiers, sources, room acoustics, you will easily see cable materials and construction can and does influence the aggregate sonic result, either way.

Like fine wine, taste buds can't lie when it senses degrees of refinement and tools to measure this don't exist. Our natural tools are unsurpassed.

With the 'musical listening experience as complex as the making of music itself ' it's even more vital to have some metrics to prove that the 'relatively subtle' improvement is not just a figment of your imagination.
It's not too difficult to trace the output of two different cables, phase invert one and merge. That shows only the real differences, if there are any - good and bad.
