Jon,
I had a chance to listen to some power cables and speaker cables on loan from a friend of mine who has a achieved a good overall sonic balance. (Both are proprietary designs sold to him by word of mouth).A power chord swap was found to clean up some some hardness/distortion in the female voice. The "testerone" bass acting somewhat like a port speaker tuned to impress...not quite right but initially interesting. The Belden SJT was just touch less harsher.
When the updated speaker cables were put in (no details about the construction of these), the bass became less prominent but deeper in frequency and more noticeable differences in level. The big change was in the voice. More expressive in the initial start of the voice (intake of breath in a realistic/less hi-fi fashion) and a better sense of the singer's intent in delivering a phrase (timing and emphasis). Intermingled decay trails now more evident. Everything more relaxed but there. The THHN try to make everything so big that it did not work all at once ...the problem for me now is that I'll be on guard for this signature and hopefully can "will/filter it out" as I listen. Thanks for the listening hints provided earlier.
The cut "Stimela" was used from the Burmester CD.
The THHN was still quite listenable but upgraded cables told me that there was more to be had. I think they might still make a good entry level product for someone wanted a very big sound.
