geoffkait,
No worries, I still do good things for humanity. It is just that I tried doing a few small experiments here. Like changing direction of wires or removing the cover from an amplifier. Responses, yours included, revealed more about responders than expected. Unless one strives to uncover different personality traits/flaws of others, I would not recommend posting own results of some experiments in these threads. They do not contribute to discussion about whatever is discussed.

>>>>>Gosh, glubson, you must be the unluckiest guy in the whole wide world. A few experiments for man, one giant step backward for mankind. 👨‍🚀 Have you considered maybe getting another hobby. Macrame, perhaps, or stamp collecting.

I am not sure why some people are so hostile to cables as if the cables stole their wives :-).  I think some here just want to say outright that cables don't even make any difference but they just didn't want to appear too radical.

I think you mistake us, and generalize. I opine cables do make a difference, but have only experience to support it, and believe the differences usually de minimis. That said, I flat out don’t believe in Kitty Kat’s many, sui generis contentions. Now, where’d I put that gunny sack....🐈🔚😱

de minimis

In my experience, the larger the listening space, the higher end the system, the more difference cables make.  It's not just smoother treble or deeper bass, but more of a three dimensional presentation of music spatially and audibly.
