If you can't hear differences in cable positions then the system is just not revealing. When impedances change the sound will change. You don't have to start at the first link in the change but I have found it is the best place to start for me. In some system just moving your speaker cables will result in a sonic change until they relax once again. Why does a system sound better warmed up rather than stone cold? Whats the difference there? It is only electricity right?
