So what? Just that we are evaluating the flaws of your system and not the supposed wire material sonic influence. That is the tragedy of most audiophiles, because of their incompetence they have serious flaws in their systems which they attribute to some magic unknown material properties or phenomena. Just because of their incompetence and ignorance. That is the real case, together with psychoacoustic effects.
Time to repeat these questions as there have been only very vague answers so far from the few here that did bother to respond.
Klaus, let me be not very serious and pick just one of your questions
.No, in the loopback arrangement and ABX test there will be no effect, because the subject does not know which recording is which
-or-
yes, because the system used is so poor that it is unable to yield same signal data for the two runs of the same file
This is not the right way to measure noise. Not that it matters, because your theory is crazy and you said it could be heard with a Samsung phone, but I don't have a Bose system. I have Sennheiser HD800s and Dynaudio monitors.
However, I do not think that it is a necessary behavior of the tube amp design.

I have not followed all of this semantic debate, but, in my language, we use the word "directivity" rather to speak of the distribution of the sonorous power of a speaker in space, and the word dispersion to speak of the way the surfaces that obstruct sound waves ... reflect them in space.
In optics, a perfect mirror has 0 dispersion, if I do not mistake, a matte wall reflect and disperses a ray of light in all directions. Likewise, a flat rigid wall has 0 dispersion, an irregular surface wall in relation to the considered wavelength acts like the dull wall.
In any case, by striking an obstacle, and depending on the rigidity of the wall, part of the sound waves are absorbed, and transformed into heat.
There is also a dispersion due to the transmission media itself, the air in our case, which varies with the humidity, just as the mist attenuates and disperses the light rays.
A solid media transmits sound waves like a waveguide.

Thanks I use it in fun, in honour of whichever smart alec it was here that named it so. Goop is actually a good name for cosmetics, an Aus colloquial name is Spakfilla.
You are mistaken. Most of us do not deny that you are convinced to had heard a difference. You have to accept as an hypothesis it can be an auto suggestion as well. The question is not on the effects, but the cause. If you can hear a difference, you HAVE to explain yourself and others why. Ensure the problem exists before to propose a solution. And this solution HAS to be based on phenomena and laws that has been demonstrated as physical laws, verified as correct (working) in each and every case. Not by some mystical smoky theories that is the product of your imagination.
Almost everyone agrees (apart you and J.C.?) that a copper cable is not directional. If something goes, in your particular case (your set-up) in the opposite direction, you must first look elsewhere, if something resembling a zener diode in parallel with some capacitor is not in your circuit. Probably hidden in the interconnections and layers of impurities that cover your contacts.
Hence:
The fact that you have published files with drops makes bad interconnect highly likely. You have the same result with different cables ? Look around in the part of YOUR circuit that do not change between the two tries.
When so many contributors from so many different backgrounds are telling you the same thing: why are you stubborn?
You will not sell your magic cables here. And, if you want to sell them elsewhere, look more on your "story telling" than on your copies of files.
For the moment neither one is convincing.
Just my two cents

Because the price of Copper has increased a lot, many network cables are now made of aluminium, like during the second world war. Notice they don't add any bit error when a file is transmitted across them. Even if you reverse head to tail the cable direction.
Because Aluminium is not such a good conductor, the wire is covered with a thin slice of copper, that transmit the HF (skin effect) and protect the aluminium from oxygen and the instant formation of isolating alumina.
As I use network cables for my line interconnects at home, I tried to compare them with pure copper ones by careful listenings, to figure out if I was able to feel any difference in the reproduction of music. 0, NADA, nothing.
Because copper resists better to repeated bending, I continue with copper. But I know WHY.
I could perhaps re-sell them by telling a nice story that aluminum makes the sound lighter? ;-)

IME silver plated copper can sound overly/wrongly bright, tin plated copper can sound overly dull/damped.
IME clean silver can sound good and add a subtle/fine lift in highs and subjective dynamics and clarity.

I suspect the copper clad is there to make electrical connections properly. Aluminum oxidizes and ruins the connection integrity. While copper will assist at the very high frequencies, I would say it is to allow using the standard connectors.

I remember how long it took to realize the "definition" of non-linear in an R/C circuit was the fact that an exponential is never a straight line. That definition with respect to the concept of linear time invariant conditions for circuit analysis you won't find in any reference.
I thought to this, of course. But the way RJ plugs cut both the isolator and enter IN the wire, when crimped with the pliers, leaves me to think that the contact is made with aluminum. Once the two parts in close contact with high pressure, they must be safe from the air ?
