Do no harm to a signal! Does this mean.....
Yes really.You want an IC to roll off the highs, you increase capacitance by putting the conductors closer together. You want speaker cables to roll off the highs, you increase inductance by spacing out the conductors. There is no magic.  However,...

For example, if an inferior system is too bright, a cable can affect the tonality and, sometimes, improve itWhich justifies spending $2/foot not 0.50 for bulk wire. 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
djones51, your colleague has already switched to a placebo, and you're still offering blind tests. They can't give the right answer, don't you understand the logic?We understand perfectly well, that you cannot get the answer you want. The answers ...

If someone wants to test a theory by jumping off a building to see if they will really die, do we praise their curiosity and be polite and civil? NO.The only difference here is the outcome is not going to cause death. It does not make the pursuit ...

Mahgister, some things are not justifiable under any circumstance. It is important to know when that is the case.

No.Ask anyone who is making that claim, to quantify the claim. It is best to step back to avoid the flailing hand waving at this point. "Trust your ears" never means "Trust your ears". It usually means, use your ears, but trust your eyes.  Almost ...

If we just dealt with human hearing, there would be far fewer issue. But we don't deal with human hearing, we deal with total human perception because far too many refuse to just deal with human hearing.

Is it safe to use a higher amperage rating fuse?
And here I just thought it was miss-rating and lack of quality control.  
Power cable education needed
The only education you will receive with your question is all the cliche phrases that audiophiles can come up with w.r.t. cables. 
Math + Logic + Science = something completely mad...
Microphonics in tubes is a very real thing. The mats will not eliminate that. I would be inclined to build shelves slightly above the speakers.Your short 18 awg cables will work perfectly of course. The resistance is but a minuscule fraction of th...
