Let's not go overboard with the hyperbole here...
But, you must have had a lot of EMI in your setup to notice that much of a difference. Not sure a cable would make a difference for ground loop noise... but maybe there are also some benefits in impedance matching, phase noise, etc. Can you tell us more about it? I'm in the process of looking at my cabling now also, and I'm curious as to which measurable characteristics were improved and how...
My Friend has a stunning system: Wadia 581se, Amazon 2 Turntable with Morch DP-8 Arm and Transfiguration Proteus MC Cartridge fitted , Sutherland PH-D, Plinius Tautoro Pre-Amp, Plinius Ref-103 Power and Martin Logan Summit X Speakers. He lives at the end of the road overlooking a protected wetlands native reserve river estuary. There are no RFI or EMI issues. the nearest village is 10 kms away and the Tasman Sea is less than 1.5 kms away. Over the horizon about 2,700kms is Australia. He lives in a place that people would only dream of.
He had no bad cables to start with, I won't name them as I don't think that's relevant or fair. All I can say is Jheena Lodwicks' Feelings2 XRCD is beautifully recorded and the song "feelings" will really show just how good your system really is.
When we played it with the original set we thought it was very good, in fact we thought it was the bees knees and we were wasting our time really. We swapped out the cables with some of the others and quite frankly we could hear no differences.
We were about to give up and not try the Nordost but changed our mind and did so and thank god we did, because the difference was more than subtle. The cymbal's, and her voice came alive, there was more decay and air, the soundstage grew, it was like the whole system had had a massive spring clean and been polished. It was a jaw dropping experience for both of us. It convinced the both of us beyond all doubt that cables do in fact make a massive contribution to the sound of your system.
Since then, he has sold the Plinius Reference 103 and purchased a pair of Cary 500.1 Mono Blocks, but last week a pair of Acousticimagery ATSAH 500 Mono Power Amps arrived and are they something to listen to. Even fresh out of the box with only a few days run in by John Young these Amps are simply gorgeous.
So long story short, I stand by my statement, if you have good gear and you throttle it with "cheap" cables then you may as well have saved even more money and purchased "cheap" gear. Because you are never going to hear what your gear is capable of producing and all it takes is walking into your "local" Hi-Fi Dealer and asking him/her if you can try some cables in "your" system. It doesn't hurt to ask and you might get a big surprise like I did.
Good Luck
Cheers
