My experience again and again during my chase for the great cables was that the link between the preamp and amp was the most sensitive to cable changesÂ….in the context of 3D attributes. The constant claim that one must put their "best" IC from source to preamp is total nonsense.
Finally when as system became more and more optimized did speaker cable differences start to be discernible. The one speaker cable that ultimately worked well for me in terms of neutrality was the Purist Opis. Other Purist models were too colored. Also the top Coincident speaker cable was very close. The lesser expensive Coincident cable was a no go. I was then given a chance to hear the Jade Hybrid speaker cable and it was right there with the Opis but now there was just a little more spatial qualities in the sound. I use the Jade today but the Opis would be mighty mighty fine. Perhaps with the Lampizator L6 DAC and the Decca Jubilee cartridge, speaker cable differences would be greater. But I have no desire to go thru the cable quest game at the moment.
I also had a brief experience with a GG IC. It was a tonally neutral cable in my system so this will not add warmth to your system if this is what you seek.
