Of course it isnt an issue of mine versus yours, I didnt even feel like comparing the cables any more, but as they where there, what the heck... 
It was not a night and day difference, of course, I was teasing Michael... 
But the Apogees did sound clearer in the midrange, and there was no placebo at all, as I never heard any opinions on either of the cables, also, I bought the Apogees because they where the only reasonable priced balanced ICs I found in Lisbon... :MILD:
