I'm afraid your experiment is invalid, as it was not a double-blind ABX test. You are obviously suffering from the placebo effect, or expectation bias. Electrons don't know what cable they are running through, for heaven's sake!
O but they do and they feel really short-changed and dejected when they have to travel through a boring shoe-lace kind of interconnect. Conversely, high-end cables with thick and colourful sleeves adorned with beautiful gold print revigourates them which is why they tend to sound better Next thing you'll be saying that turntables make a difference, when all they have to do is rotate at a fixed speed.
