Don't Overthink It
No worries Mr Pig - I get what you are saying and I think what you are doing is what we all are trying do. That is - find "the sound" that we want from our systems. If we accept that cables are kind of an "icing on the cake" sort of tweak, then of course it makes sense you would want to see if there is still a little more "good" that can be coaxed from your system.
From there though, it's a minefield. Prices are all over the place for wire, trying to A/B them can be difficult or impossible, and longer term changes need time to settle in. Trying to solve an equation with too many variables is the definition of impossible, and I think for many of us (myself included) the "cable variable" - given how many each system has - just flat out scares people away.
This being an audio website and this in particular being an open place to discuss any and all changes without pressure, I don't want to come off as close minded. I openly admit that cables can make a difference. I enjoy reading lengthy posts from members who are willing to try anything and everything in search of audio bliss. I just hope it's OK for us to say "good luck with that" and stop and some point on the trail and wish y'all well.
Keep up the great work Mr. Pig - you are truly taking one for the team !
