I'm clearly in the "cables-make-a-difference" camp. My RFI laden environment definitely benefits from good shielded cables that initially sound darker - devoid of a false brightness imparted by such noise.On the other hand, I have a number of older recordings that are simply recorded too bright. Cables are a poor source equalizer. It is for that reason, I truly enjoy having an HF contour control on my SLs. I have tried using my Behringer third octave EQ in the system just for grins. Everything is rendered brighter still. Resolution suffers. Very hi-fi sounding. Great for knob twiddlers and audio gourmands like the biggest EQ proponent around here, Soundmind. It's a shame he was banned as I enjoyed his humorous rants. :)
