Take the snake oil back to the High End forum....
There is an audible difference between cables when you use equipment designed 50 years ago without low-impedance outputs, high impedance inputs, and widespread use of negative feedback.
So, if you are hooking up an Al-Ni-Co moving magnet cartridge to a tube pre-amp with tranformer coupled output to a low wattage class A tube amp with a low damping factor - then try listening to different cables. The ones that work best in that set-up aren't the "better" cables in a general sense, they just compensate for the particulars of your set-up in a way that you like.
If you are wiring up a modern studio - get something with the charateristics that are appropriate (if you have a 500' mic run, you may need special cable).
I understand the tweeky old-school bug. I have a clock in my living room with weights on strings and a sliding weight on a pendulum that I have to wind every 36 hours....
I set it using the clock on my cell phone.
