I don't have any "magic" wires in my system, but one of the best things I ever did was change all the interconnects to ones with very low capacitance and dielectric absorption. Perhaps that suggests that at least my line driver stages could stand some improvement. It also taught me that if a bunch of people say something is so that it may be worth looking into even if it seems implausible.
I don't recall "a bunch of people" saying anything like that. Where and when? I do recall there usually being one or two people in audiophile circles having a slight comprehension of physics and perhaps measuring and understanding why high capacitance in cables wouldn't be good.
"A bunch of people" say lots of things, like cryo treating everything in sight, including photos of one's self, improves sound quality. Any plans for looking into that seemingly implausible something? Do you doubt that they are actually "hearing" these "improvements"?
And it actually seems plausible to me that a single ended class A amplifier could be better, especially at low levels, than a class B scheme.
Ya think? You know, this isn't the first time amp clipping/fidelity has been discussed here (link)
(I'll try to find the link for you to Earl's low level linearity test method (yes, unlike a chemist, he has one) over on Diyaudio.)
cheers,

Funny thing, in Audiophile circles if you can hear things others cannot, you are revered, in society, you are sent for treatment.
