Essentially cables are a sort of tone control, and they are system dependent. Yes, they do make a significant difference whether it's good or bad. Just be prepared to shell out some bucks to experiment.
HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ?
Just asking the question. If you don’t believe in cables. Good for you. But if you do have you ever made a cable change that opened up your system to new heights. Just interested if you have or haven’t. If you don’t believe in cables this isn’t a thread for you. What are your thoughts ?

@phd the approach we take is that the should just get out of the way. Should should have the sound of your amp and source and speakers. Cables should not be a bottle neck is the approach we take |
I have tested several different cables in my system and noticed subtle changes. It's nothing dramatic, but it's noticeable to me. I'm no engineer or scientist, and many knowledgeable people on this forum can explain why cables do or don't sound different. The only thing no one knows better than me is what sounds good to me. |
"The reason tonearm cables actually make a big difference is because they are handling very low voltage signals, and thus are very susceptible to interference and LCR effects." Are not all cables subject to the same type of distortion albeit at different scales? Which begs the question - what is done to different TT cartridge cable wires to make some more desirable than others? |
