And I thought that folks had to be nuts to be Inmates.
But I hear you. I'm a science major and computer guy. Cables are cables. I was dumbfounded when I put some skinny little Audience speaker cables in my system after using good 12 gauge stranded wire forever. My buddy whose Sony receiver is better than anything friend, agreed. It was just obvious. I'm not sure it could be measured and it could easily have been explained by lousy insulation and corrosion of the copper wire on the old wire.
I use mostly Canare cables and some Bob Crump ICs and power cables. A Tice power cable gives my preamp a more lush sound. Some components seem to react more than others to changes. Perhaps, those are poorly designed or just finicky. Cables can be tone controls as well, albeit expensive ones.
I do like well made cables though.
