OK! I know this topic causes a lot of flames. There are two camps...you either believe it cause you have heard the differences or you don't cause you never heard any differences. In the beginning before I got into the high end kit I could never hear the differences cause my system wasn't resolved enough to hear the changes. I had a hard time hearing anything with my setup at home until I changed my last amplifier. However, at my local Audiophile store where they have equipment like Levinson or Wadia electronics with very high end equipment, making changes to the wire is a revelation. Until you witness that you will not believe. I keep saying that until you turn your room into an audio friendly room, things like cables and upgrading to multi-thousand dollar/pound equipment is a waste of money. The long decay time in the room will fog most of the changes from cable design differences. The same goes for speaker placement in the room. Stick them in the corners or up against the wall and most of what your electronics can resolve is lost. The whole soundstage becomes flatter lacking depth and space.

Cheers,
