That's officially weird.

I can't resist Bucee's rest rooms.
Celebrated in story and song, it's a Klingon dream come true.
Probably thought she'd show up with a wet diaper and a bloody knife and say "I'm all yours!"
The astronaut that was the object of her affection was like, "I don't even know her like that. This bitch be crazy!"
If you're over 18, your too old for them.
Some of it is genetic, but a lot of it is years of training in hearing and teasing out all the frequencies.
I spent years in the audiophile record business back in the transition days from analogue LPs to digital CDs, and spent a LOT of time with beyond top-of-the-line audio gear, including high end stuff that wasn't even on the consumer market.
My ears got trained from many years in bands and orchestras, then recording sessions, then hearing the final recordings on CD, as well as thousands of other recordings, and many live performances by some of the greatest orchestras in the world. I know what it is supposed to sound like at every stage of the process.
Bottom line, cables aren't going to be a major issue. Guarantee you've got at least 10 other variables making a bigger difference, and most of them can't even be fixed.
Even more than the actual contact with the media, the entire system breaks down at the ears. If your ears aren't well-trained, then you don't even know what to listen for. You might think loud bass is good, or booming drums, and never notice that you can't hear any mids.
So in a blind test like this, some people just might prefer a sound that this experiment has little impact on, so they wouldn't be able to notice any differences.
A well-trained ear might be able to detect differences between them, but still not have a real preference. Besides being able to hear all the different frequencies, you have to know what the instruments sound like in real life to know if those frequencies are reproducing accurately. Again, if you don't what it's supposed to sound like, you really don't know if ANY change in components makes a positive or negative difference in the natural sound, you only know the difference relative to your personal preference.
TL;DR: This "experiment" doesn't prove anything. It's just funny.
Art should not be political? That about the most cowardly thing any artist could say. Even if I don't agree with the politics on display, I can still understand that they have the right to express their politics in art, although bad politics generally results in bad art. That's half the fun.
Women get weird around astronauts. Remember the one who put on a diaper to make a frantic 12 hour drive to Florida to murder her romantic rival?
At least we can hear their sobs when their sales slump, and their corporations nosedive.
How are these companies so Sociopathic that they don't immediately understand how awful an idea this is?
And their bosses are just lying to their bosses, and it's lying and yessing all up and down the line, and the rest of us out here just have to live with whatever The Machine pukes out for us.
