What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers??


I am curious what speaker cables made a big "jaw dropping difference" in the sound quality of your current speakers.  What most impressed you about the difference;  that is, overall musicality, tighter, deeper bass, midrange clarity and soundstage depth, etc.etc. 

Keep the price of the speaker cables chosen or auditioned at  between $800- $1000 or  from  $1000-$1500. Was the cable bought new or used??

  Thank you,   SJ

For real low cost cables, Speltz Anticables consistently bested all that I tried until I bought some MG Audio Planus III copper ribbons.   They moved the bar well beyond anything I had heard prior.  I then bought some Amadi Maddie Signature cables that were better in most ways than the MG's.  My final cables are the Cerious Technologies Graphene Extreme.  In my VMPS RM40 ribbon speakers, they are better in all ways than any I've had.  The price of an 8 ft. pair is $649, and I bought 14" jumpers for an additional $80. The MG's were $1995, plus I had Harmonic Technology Pro 9+ cables that were $1595.  The CTGE's have better transparency, fuller and better defined bass, airier highs, and the vocals were more lifelike.  This wasn't a knock your socks off difference.   Any of the last 3 cables I tried would have made me quite happy forever, had I not heard the others.  You've got to love the forum write-ups--just like reading the audio rags for giving you the itch. I'm sure there are many others that sound wonderful, also, but at the price of the CTGE's or Amadi's ($600 for 8 ft. pair), I'm not so sure.
