Just to be clear, I agree with you on this. But I've been trying to
suggest some explanations for the question you originally raised--why
did the writer hear a difference? Because we have only the word of the
principals involved that nothing but the interconnects was changed.
And one of the principals involved is an executive of the company that
made the cables.
