HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ?

Just asking the question. If you don’t  believe in cables. Good for you. But if you do have you ever made a cable change that opened up your system to new heights. Just interested if you have or haven’t. If you don’t believe in cables this isn’t a thread for you. What are your thoughts ?

"Other than tonearm cables,"

Those are cables.
 

The reason tonearm cables actually make a big difference is because they are handling very low voltage signals, and thus are very susceptible to interference and LCR effects.

I had a dealer recently say to me "other than tonearm cables, all the rest is bulls***.  I did not question him on this.  

Pretty accurate. You’ll get more improvement replacing a set of brass binding posts with copper than with replacing cheap copper cables with expensive copper cables.
