It's just hype, I believe. The lead-outs of the cable to which RCA connectors are mounted are thin, so the thickness of the cable is in insulation materials. I don't sea the reasons why these cables are made so thick.

Now the signal is OK as I placed the amp on the upper tier and the CDP on the third tier of the rack, thus making the cable route as straight as possible.
