The psychology of change...

The problem with tweaks, different wires and their differing topologies, anything and everything we do to our systems DOES SOMETHING!

Changing where a planted flower pot is in your listening room will change the sound; buying/replacing a piece of furniture in your listening room makes a difference. EVERYTHING makes a difference. What is difficult is realizing whether the change is a positive move or a negative one.

If you can separate sounds, are deeply aware of the differences of one instrument from another, whether it is the drum, cymbal or sticks (for example), listen very closely and you MAY hear a difference...if the change is within the frequencies you listen FOR.

If one knows their system/room well, then it is easy to hear those differences.

It may well be the tweak/wire/even component will affect a large portion of the musical spectrum, or as stated, just a small segment thereof.

Most of the wire guys were employed by the US government to design wire that was silent...i.e., how do I transmit a signal from the front of a submarine to the rear without any interference or an enemy's detection systems?

That's hogwash and snake oil?

Take (sadly, I know Awe-d-o-phile can't make them at this time) the footers Earl makes...put some sorbotane under a turntable; put spikes under a turntable, any support you wish, and then listen to that turntable with the footers.

If you don't hear a positive difference I'll give you your choice of "Sammy Davis Jr. sings Slovakian favorites", or "Edgar Allen Poe moans from beneath".

Both very collectible LPs. CDs vailable from "Never been made" CD company.

But seriously, if you state you hear no difference, you're either lying or had better go see an ENT. OR perhaps, you haven't learned how to listen...no crime in that, simply that one has no argumentative stance.

Wire topologies reveal different aspects of sound in reaction with impedance and (more "deeply" ) the topologies of the equipment itself.

Everything makes a difference...sally forth and listen CAREFULLY! Keep in mind what your system sounded like pre-tweak.
