Hang,
I was not really replying to you, I was just next in line on the thread. I will say that I'm familiar with networking environments and the difference between various twisted pair wire, as I work in IT for a company that has 12,000 employees in my town. I even wired my own house.
If your talking apples to apples, and using the proper AWG for the situation, you won't be able to recognize any difference.
I know. I was just replying "in general" and wanted to make sure that I'm not in the "wow...must be expensive so it must be good...." crowd. Although I tend to think you get what you paid for, in audio, that doesn't really apply. I also used the Cat3/5 example because I knew you had an IT background. Hey, it's in your profile!
