would suggest you upgrade to after market power cords throughout the system.. they make a big difference.. it is really hard to audtition cables without going through the powercord upgrade thing (also forgot to metion suspending the cables)
assuming the cable is broken in.... i let it "settle in" after installing it for at least one hour..the changes become much more pronounced..
its not to a bad idea to listen to a broken in cable with really familiar material.. the changes become may be subtle at first, but the longer you listen and go back to the old one, they become evident pretty quick (what can be bad, is when you hear something 2-3 weeks after you bought it that you dont like)... the more "tuned" your ear becomes and the higher the resolution of your system, it becomes pretty obvious very quickly ( not always but generally speaking)
you also might have to make small speaker placement adjustments to compensate for the cable depending on your speaker...
hope that helps,
mike
