Can speaker cables damage amplifiers?

I have been told on good authority that network cables such as TRANSPARENT and MIT can cause broad bandwith amplifiers (eg Krell) to "go into oscillation" and thereby cause some nasty damage. These cable manufacturers, apparently, are aware of this problem. Can anyone confirm this?

Carl I have not used MIT. Was cautioned not to do so with my system.

E-mail response from Krell is that there are no problems using Transparent cables with their amps. Awaiting response from Tansparent, too. Incidentally, I still do not know what is meant by "oscillation".

Both Krell and Transparent have assured me that they use Transparent cables and have had no problems regarding oscillation
