That is pure audio snake oil.

My point was that the AR cables had features designed for good
shielding. I never directly claimed that they sounded better. Indeed, my
experience has been that expensive cables don't sound better than the
cheap ones that come "in the box".


Here we go. 3.5mm TRS male.

Cat5 (e & 6 as well) is something I have a *lot* of. Is there any advantage
to 5e as opposed to 5 for this application? I'd rather hang on to my 6 & 5e
if I could.

How about these adapters. I know they may not have the same quality, but for
2 for $15US it might make it worth taking a shot... not much lost if it
doesn't work:

They may or not work depending on the quality of the transformers. Look
up "CMRR", "differential input"
