The point wasn't the cables. The point was who the heck would design such an unstable amp were cables would blow it out.

So actually this thread DOES agree that cables can have a huge effect.

I always felt cables in any manner should be as transparent as possible. Not adding or subtracting to the situation - just do the job they were intended for. As I'm redoing one of my IC on a setup TODAY!!!

  to invent a load that will stress an amp -- Apogee Scintillas were such a load for most amps, and who knows what could be designed in future that would cause a bad reaction from some. Inability to drive Apogee Scintillas says nothing about an amp's design for most applications.
  
  I remember the times, and I (at least now, in my dotage) can recall no precedents in home audio for the ultra-high capacitance presented by Cobra cables no matter which speakers they were used to connect. I think you might better ask "who the heck would design such an . . . amp w[h]ere [nothing remotely conceivably ever connected to it] . . . would [stress or damage] it [in any way whatsoever]". I suppose such a design were possible, but it would be very expensive.
  
  Of course "cables can have a huge effect" -- just imagine the effect of a 100' run of 64-gauge in most set-ups.
