@squared80 who are you addressing? Let's put our subjectives or our own perceptions about sound aside. There's a science in metallurgy and that includes cables. Are you suggesting that there is no difference in gold, silver, copper, aluminum, wrought iron, cold rolled steel etc? Tell that to an electrical technician or a structural engineer. Cables make a difference - huge or subtle- you have to find what works best for your system and for your taste. I personally witnessed how a custom Furutech power cord I'm now using for my Innuos Pulsar beautifully transformed the sound. I witnessed how much better my older Ansuz X2 USB cable out performed the newer and more expensive Audience FrontRow USB. And I recently witnessed how Furutech JumperFlux-S jumpers underwhelming performed vs the Klipsch factory spkr jumpers. Why would I make this up? This is what I'm hearing.
Have you ever looked at spkr or amplifier binding posts internally and the wiring terminals that are used? Problems probably start here followed by lousy spkr cables.
Room acoustics is definitely a huge factor and I agree with you here.
