Jon,Maybe you should try the Shatki On-Lines. These will allow you to dial in the ringing mode of the speaker cable, interconnects, digital cables, and power cords. This way you can tailor each cable sonic signature much closer to the speakers sonic needs.
Another great product is the HighWire Power Wrap (this product was used in the design of HighWire's speaker and interconnect cables) idea which is nothing more than magnetic wire (teflon insulator) grouped together to make a 12ga spiral you fit around the cable. Center spiral to center of cable. By moving the spiral towards the speaker an 1/8" at a time you could adjust and null certain ringing modes within the cable to alter the overall sound. The Shatki is used the same way.
Your could even try large ferrites at the speaker binding posts. Many different ideas...
Have you ever tried to ground the rca connector in a component to the chassis. The amount of noise removed from the signal is quite staggering. As of now I and many others have tried this trick on solid state and tube equipment with no side effects. Works best when coaxial cables are used. Do not try on digital output.
