I don't know the specific mechanism for each improvement, but instead of having a closed mind I gave each of these the benefit of the doubt and tried them. Some wires definitely made the system quieter but would kill the PRAT, others would kill the dynamics, others were so bad (for my system anyway) that they muffled everything. Better wires can have better RFI rejection (noise), less reactance (phase), differing shielding (noise and phase), differing dielectric adsorption (nonlinearities, phase)... The wires I chose aren't esoteric, they are simply silver with a good dielectric and some care in choosing associated hardware and construction. There are many recipes that work well, but, unfortunately, many more that don't.

I don't have a mine so open my brains fall out, but the basis of science is empiricism not ostrichism.

P.S. I also ran blind and double blind tests on the interconnects I was choosing from, when you're contemplating buying 6 sets of (potentially costly) interconnects you can afford to take your time and enlist the help of a few friends.
