Can you guys really tell the difference between the sound in cables?
Yes, but (speaking personally) generally only if plugged straight into an amp that has a very good clean fidelity, with a clear high-end – e.g. a Fender tube amp with a fairly 'simple' old-fashioned circuit.
I once tried a Lava cable and a George L's cable, of equal length, side-by-side and I preferred the George L's – more transparency in the high-frequencies to my ear. YMMW.
P.S. That was using a Strat, whose high-end emphasis seems to help differentiate cables.
