Here's my $0.02...
I didn't believe PC could make any difference. (I studied electronics).
Borrowed a cable (Kimber) from a friendly Audio store (Q-Audio in Cambridge, MA). To my and my friend's utter amazement the cable DID make a pretty obvious difference in sound (context: MF M6si, KEF 104/2, AQ CV-8).
Punch line: neither of us preferred that (more veiled) sound. Both of us would characterize the sound as less in-your-face, more veiled, more suited to very long listening sessions w/o getting tired. But both of us preferred the sound with the stock cable. I would still use whatever came with the amp even if I could have the $300 PC for free. But the sound difference was undeniable and an eye-opener for us both.
