You will find the differences into the higher tones. Not all people are having the same "audio bandwidth". Most people are limited into the higher tones. Making high quality setups useless for this people. The level of treatment you are talking about, goes beyond the costs of a cable or a connector. Boxes, the environment and background noise (FAN) comes to my mind as potential disturbing factors, which should be treated as well. So, if you've got a freevo system wich produces some background noise (fans, hd), it isn't worth the pain to spend a lot of money into cabling. Avoiding oxidation however is a must for a professional aproach and has nothing to do with the initial quality, but everything with long term quality.
