“Sitting down and having a good listen on good kit” in an endeavour to establish if cables make a difference to the “sound” is a pointless exercise.
We know from measurement that the electrical signal driving the loudspeakers is not significantly altered by the cables. This is a physical measurement, independent of human hearing.
We also know that human hearing is a poor measuring instrument. The brain is subject to many extraneous inputs which affect our perception and memory of the sound.
Given the above facts, it would be illogical to accept the results of a simple “just listen and believe your ears” test as being good evidence that cables make a “real” (ie. a physical) difference.
