Sounds good. You give it a good try. Over the years I've certainly done things I thought made a huge difference until I switched back or got myself to evaluate in an unsighted manner. Maybe set it up so a friend/wife/kid can randomly plug in one of the 2 cables unsighted after you spend some time with the zip cord vs. Analysis Plus. For speaker cables, although 14G is likely more than adequate for short lengths, I'd see about getting a roll of 12G just in case one day you want to make long runs. (This is what I did for >30' lengths to reach my surround speakers.) Have fun and let us know how it goes!
