Hi
I have been playing with cables for years and have come to a few [probably wrong] conclusions.
1 The real difference in cable sound quality didn't come from the speaker cables but from the interconnects.
I have a somewhat medium priced speaker cable and a standard 12 g wire set. When I hook them to my speakers [one speaker with 12g and one with the name brand] I can tell no difference between them. I have asked my visiting friends to stand in front of each speaker and tell me which sounds better and they can't tell any difference between them either.
Now when I hook up the factory supplied interconnects that came with my amp-pre-or other devices They sound very flat with little musical sound. they sound OK but not good.
I then hook my medium priced interconnects and it is like listening to a whole different system.
I am sure that high end speaker cables make a difference but not on any system I have ever owned, but I don't use zip cord either.
