Whenever I read that changes are more easily heard on "uber high end systems" I think back on my old components and how I heard cable differences in all the iterations of my music system, from vintage Pioneer and JBL's to the Levinson and Vienna Acoustics I presently enjoy. I do think that my current electronics allow me to be pickier, due to them being less of a limiting factor in performance.

I'm not sure I've ever said to myself, at any point while auditioning a variety of cables, "these two cables sound the same."

During auditions I've done, I have thought to myself that certain cables are vastly overrated, although they had been raved about or highly touted.
