Right - serious question and intended just to see what people think and have experienced - if possible I'd prefer it if people didn't feel the need to put the boot into each others' opinions - I realise that this might be a forlorn hope Italics for important emphasis to the statements.
I don't think there's any way of inserting a poll here, but just wonder whether people feel they best fit into these four cat-and-pigeonholes:
1) Cables make no difference whatsoever. As long as the material is a good conductor that's all there is to it - bell wire and freebies are all you need.
2) Cables can sometimes make a difference, sometimes subtle, sometimes less so - but you are highly sceptical of very big price tags.
3) There's always something to be gained from 'better cabling', though the law of diminishing returns applies.
4) Cables are more important than any other aspect of hifi - Russ Andrews/Kimber is a bargain.
FWIW, I am a 2. Not a number 2, mind...
