In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud (www.tomshardware.com)

Analog, and what really matters for analog signal is if the wire carries load or not.

Like a phono cable from a record player or a analog signal cable from an old sound card matters, but it doesn't matter how you send the amplified signal to the passive speakers.

This means if you have a HDMI cable going into a decent AVR and speaker cables coming out, you basically can't do anything wrong.
