Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this?
Look, this is pretty simple ... you have not yet readjusted to your original set up. That can take time, so don't sweat it. 
Another marketing gimmick?
There's always a market for snake oil. The real question is how big that market will be. 
Billy Cobham Question
I was in the radio business years ago. What you may have there is a promo copy sent out by the label to radio stations (usually to the attention of the music director) with a generic cover letter concerning the possibility of interviewing Billy. 
Amp for Joseph RM-25si ?
I’m running a BAT SS amp and tube preamp through my JA Pulsars. Amazing sound. Check out BAT. 
The Who (Deluxe)
It’s not the Who. It’s two original members with a backing cover band. That’s the reality. Once Keith passed, it was over. None of the records with Kenny Jones sounded like the Who and, certainly, Pino Palladino is no John Entwhistle. Bottom line ... 
Lets see your listening room dimensions.
I've got all of you beat, dimension-wise  ... 10' x 9' x 8'. Fortunately, room treatments from GIK have turned a once awful sounding room into a very nice sounding one.

New upper trim level Corvette or seven year old used amps?
I'd have done the same thing ... keep the amps, toss the 'vette. 
Affordable cables
Audio Envy. Their Studio Prestige RCA ICs and O'Nestian 4:4 Balanced ICs have replaced Cardas GR in my system and sound way better. High quality at an affordable price. 
Mapleshade or Butcher Block Acoustics
I’ve tried Mapleshade and it didn’t work for me. Actually, it was pretty awful. I went ultimately with Terrastone platforms from edensound, and have been very satisfied with the results. 
Speaker Cable Blending
Actually. I keep a glass of single malt next to my system. The fumes from the scotch penetrate the cable jackets and impart additional warmth to the sound through the underlying stranding. 
Most annoying song, period.
"Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks. Hated it back in '74 and it still annoys me today. 
It's National "One Hit Wonder" Day!

Ordered my new amp today... been a long road!
Congrats on the new amp. However, here's a hot news flash for ya ... in this hobby, you're never done, even though you vow that you are and swear you'll never buy any more gear. This is the burden or joy (depending on one's point of view) that we ...
