I tried many different cables in my system from the last 22 years.There is too much of hype and many unsubstantiated claims.
Cables can not improve a bad source. They do change the sound either bright, or soft and can change the dynamics.
I recently evaluated my earlier purchases to see what made a big difference-big bang for the buck-or a purchase at the point of diminishing return for the capital .
1) positioning the speakers.
2)I cleaned my cable TV box audio connectors with De ox-a craig product. Periodical cleaning made a perceivable difference -low cost.
3) AR com DIY speakers cost 330 dollars-more returns forthe dollar spent
4) source.DAC- to CD player perceivable significant difference but 1000$
4)Upgrade to a a hybride tube- amplifier and than a receiver set up big difference.
5) cables--Bolder cables.Perceivable difference for better.There are similar cables of the same formulaat much lesser cost.
Homegrown audio silver Lace cables gave me good returns for the dollar.Stealth cables also gave me good returns. Many other expensive cables I used are slightly better but at a significantly higher cost.
6) CD and DVD treatment auric enhancer or vivid.
7 buying more CDs and DVDs more enjoyment for the dollar spent.
