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

More like, "Now that's more like it", is usually what I experience.  Nothing otherworldly.

There sure are a lot of guys who wanna tell other people how ignorant they are when it comes to cables.  The same guys that will never hear what they do or don’t do in your system.  When I see folks making those comments. I turn them off completely.  Most of us have been doing this audio thing 20   30 40 years. We know what we are hearing and what we are not hearing at this point.  

In my system, cables have never made a significant difference. I’ve noticed slight changes, yes, but nothing extraordinary. At this point, I’ve stopped buying and selling cables - I’m done, I have what I need.

Which position is the right one? The most dramatic or the one that places the triangle where it was in the original recording? That’s the goal, right? Was it a live session?

yes
