I could type up a long winded response, but i'd recommend jumping onto this webpage which includes illustrations. The information was posted by a high end audio engineer with 25+yrs experience & is easy to read. Re: cable recommendations, I can't help you there as I play at a different level. Though i'm sure other members will chime in. Hope that helps. Cheers.

Copper is more forgiving in sound than silver. But the best silver cables can reveal a lot more details than the most expensive coppercables.
Really? If I lived in your area I would be more than happy bring along my Jorma Statement speakers cables to a-b compare to any silver speaker cables you care to throw at them.

Bol, I think you would be impressed by the Jorma cables. I have owned Origo, Prime & now Statement. Going from Origo to Prime was a big step up in sound, but I think the biggest jump was moving up to the Statement sc's. Straight out of the box the resolution was amazing & in terms of the sound stage, a whole vista opened up.
