Great stuff so far, very interesting.
In general, I am always skeptical of anything that appears to have no basis in science. Even those which have theoretical physical effects, but which are not easily measurable, I am usually willing to consider. I have heard audible improvements from nearly every change I have made to my system over the years, and most have been for the better. In my experience, changes in power delivery (AC conditioners/filters/re-generators, Power cords, dedicated lines) to all pieces of equipment have been the most noticeable.
One thing that is difficult for me to discern much difference on is bi-wiring my speakers vs. a single wire with the binding post jumpers installed (Martin Logan "Ascent" driven by Krell FPB-200, AQ "Crystal" speaker wire). I haven't done a bunch of experimenting between the two, but I can't say that I heard much, if any, difference when I first made the switch. However, I like the sound of my system with the two runs of cable, so I have left them connected that way.
