Cat:

I found the posts that I was talking about. Excerpts follow:

*I was over at a friends house about a year ago on an audio related trip. I think he was using Blue Jeans speaker cables at the time. I swapped them out for one of Electra Cables cheaper speaker cables and he just about fell over. It was like upgrading his amp or something.

**I'd have so much fun with you.... I could change one power cable on my system for a stock power cable and you'd fall over. It would burst everything you ever believed in.

From what I gather reading the above, there were no problems with the friend's wires.

Sorry, I just don't buy what is being stated there as I don't fall over easily. For me, unless they are defective, proper cables/wires just do not make huge, dramatic sonic differences as espoused above. I'm just too cynical & pragmatic I guess; however, these virtues make it far easier on the wallet...
