Cable septic

Okay, I’ve spent a fair amount on my dream system. Voxativ 9.87 system, very efficient speakers, Vocation 211 integrated, ps audio Directstream DAC and power station, etc. I’m using pretty basic cables, mostly what came with my equipment.  I still remember a magazine article where they AB tested high end cables neatly separated vs a mess of cheap crap.   The result, nobody heard a difference. So, flash forward, what cables will make a difference?  Brand and which component in order of benefit. Thank you!

To just learn a few things try a copper wire cable and a all silver cable to see if yo can hear a difference.  Then decide what you want your system to sound like.  I do hear differences but I can find bigger improvements else where such as adding an AC filter choke, better resistors and capacitors.  Then you can go form there.  I recently hear the changes that the Audioquest Niagara model 1200 made in two systems.  One was more pronounced that the other.  That may have been a bigger change that any cable I have tried ever made.  You have to experiment and observe and then learn what makes the sound change in this hobby.

Happy Listening.

@rbstehno  - Correct - but maybe even less than that in some systems depending on how the AC is filtered in the components.  Hope all is going well with you my friend.
