I haven't done extensive testing myself yet, and won't really do that untill I am able to buy a new house.
Anyway, what I have been able to test so far is that I can hear a difference in speaker cables.
Last year I had Vicol speaker cables myself (now a cheap second hand MIT Terminator 2, which sounds exactly the same as the Vicol), and tried a set of Siltech 330L.
There was a very noticeable difference. The Siltech had less deeper bass, but was faster.
The difference in power cables is something I need to check more.
In my current situation, where almost everything is on the same power group, I heard a very, very slight difference between a standard computer type cable, and a Crystal cable of €600.
Interconnects I want to try out someday. Especially coaxial cables, as I one between the CD player/transport and the D200.
At the moment I use a €50 Via Blue cable which sounds great. Really wonder what a different/expensive cable can do. For better or worse.
So, to me there can be a difference in cables. But I need to hear it immediately.
I'm not going to change a cable, listen to it for a week, and then change it back to hear a difference.
I really do not see the point in that. Either I hear a difference, or it don't.
