[QUOTE="kay, post: 11, member: 2"] Oh, different cables, biwiring etc. can sound different - I've no doubt of that. As to what extent - well, that's debatable, but they do sound different. I read a story recently about some QUAD engineer who set up a pair of demo speakers at a show using a piece of garden extension wire from the local hardware store and noone noticed for days, even though everyone was most impressed with the speakers' sound :) On the other hand, there's tons of scientifically backed research out there that shows that cable run is not really a factor. Obviously not accounting for aging etc. - in fact I've read some people recommend that you cut the ends of your cables every year or so (if you don't use soldered/sealed banana plugs), just so that the surface oxidation is removed every time you do that.
