Throwing in my 2 cents..
Agree with Gordon and the like - cables can make a difference in sound. The notion that - if you want/expect to hear an audible benefit you will is ridiculous IMO. I've tested multiple PCs and in some cases did, some did not hear any difference/benefit. Of course in all cases, I wished there would be a HUGE benefit. Believing in this philosophy - we should all run out and buy the cheapest yet best marketed PCs, pray and hope for audio bliss and - presto! no need to spend a single dime more for better PCs. Yea, that's it....
BTW - I recently purchased Shunyata Viper IIIs for my ASL Hurricane mono blocks, which previously had Audioquest NRG-2 PCs. I moved the Audioquest PCs to the ML Summits (had stock PCs on them originally) and I expected to hear no major difference, but maybe some change. I was quite surprised at the better imaging and slightly tighter and better controlled bass. I've made changes with other PCs but never heard a benefit such as this. I guess I wished really hard for it to sound better and it did! Now its time for me to put my tooth under my pillow for the tooth fairy! Not everything that can't be measured is snake oil. Trust your ears and happy listening!
