Audible differences between speaker cables?


I'm a newbie to speaker cable issues. My analytical side says that there shouldn't be much difference from one type or brand of cable to another (given that they are low enough resistance to provide a high damping factor). Nevertheless, there are some strong opinions to the contrary. What audible differences are there from one type of cable to another?

Well, I've sounded off in this topic before and for me the ghist of the matter is simply that I can hear quite a bit of difference on a fairly wide range of parameters between say a Nordost and MIT shotguns from the eighties through my ESLs. At the same time, I'm by no means sure, if I am not simply delusional. But then, frankly, I don't really care a damn, 'cause like a serious case of infatuation, it's a very nice and pleasurable emotional state. Besides , there are more "truths" in this our world, besides those established by the natural sciences. Cheers,
As a skeptic I must admit that this Christmas proved to be a true revelation (in audio-not religion). I recently purchased a new 187 inch screen for my HT and was forced to put the tree and accompanying decor on the other side of the living room. Well, the old extension cord didn't reach and I patched a few feet of Acoustic Zen Hologram I had laying around to the extension cord to get it to the tree.

WOW!!!

The greens have never been so..well... green. And the reds are much warmer. Rudolph's nose never looked so bright! And the star on the top of the tree... I tell you that Hologram talk is true! I've never been able to hear a real difference in cables but know I know the truth. I'm deaf!!!!

Anyway, given my disability, I'm selling my system and downsizing to a boombox. Call me if you are interested... and does anybody have any experience patching Yamamura Quantum power cords to those things?

Sincerely, I remain
