While it does sound like you went to great lengths to ensure the signals were level-matched, it sounds from your description like you were still aware of which signal was which when you switched from one to the other. I.e., it wasn't a true "blind" test.
Therefore it is entirely possible that what you heard was at least in part a result of expectation bias (a perceptual phenomenon in your brain) rather than actual (demonstrable & repeatably so) differences in the sound of those cables.
Just something to be aware of.
