Well, power cables follow the same pattern and they impact the sound...

Hank Locklin - Bummin' Around(RCA Camden 1969)Nice recording. Old-style country honky tonk.

Andrés Segovia - Maestro Segovia (Decca 1961)It’s not going to change the world but it is pretty hypnotic solo Spanish guitar playing. Damn the seller for grading this as NM when it is clearly VG+. Pity. Now where's my CD?

Albinoni, Corrette, Handel, Mozart ‎– Adagio For Organ And Strings / Concerto For Organ, Flute And Strings / Organ Concerto No. 13 In F / Organ Sonata No. 4 In D (Turnabout 1967)Not the most dynamic recording. Why leave an inch of dead wax?

Doc Evans ‎– At The Gas Light (Audiophile 1967)Awesome recording and wonderful Dixieland jazz. In the room dynamics. This is how it's done. 
Spikes or rubber feet.

Need copper speaker cable recommendations $300 ish
While not as good as the OCC wire, 14 gauge Romex performs surprisingly well. Don't laugh! Make sure not to score the wire when trimming off insulation.

No need to braid or twist. The heatshrink will hold the wires together. You can buy an outer sheath if you want. Bare wire is better than terminations if you can get away with it.

@talkskiwon solid core UP-OCC wire is way better than the stranded copper in the budget cables suggested. In my system, it improves inner detail resolution, speed, background blackness, and tonal color.
