Advice on speaker cables.

@audphile1 fingers crossed I’m going to say yes. I’ve been letting the system run in the background for quite a few hours everyday. I’ve decided to keep them and just be happy for now. The build quality and bananas make them worthwhile. The banana connection just feels solid compared to the other two cables I tried. I did order a pair of Hero cables to try, so we’ll see how that goes. I’ll probably confuse myself more. 
@decooney they won’t be disturbed unless a new component or speaker change comes. I’m pretty value oriented and definitely don’t plan on big spending until I see how things turn out.

@jrareform i completely agree with everything you said. I don’t want to stir anything because everybody is entitled to their opinion. But I know what I hear and I’m happy although always curious. Somewhere in all the reading I’ve done, some have said the interconnects made more difference than other cables. I really don’t know. I’m going to try a pair of Hero’s and see. I’m going to avoid trying power cables for now. The WBC rca’s I’m using are probably fine I just want to compare. The ones I have are made with their own wire and they used to use Mogami. I really appreciate everyone’s advice and help. Thank you.

@kmm84 good for you to try things out for yourself.  I noticed a significant improvement from power cables personally.  If you ever want to dabble in cabling that isn't exorbitant, I have had great success with Cardas Parsec power cables on my amps and front end components.  They fleshed out the sound more than a stock cable and I preferred them over much more expensive cables for their more natural and fluid presentation in my system.  Can find bargains for used ones.  There are never many on the used market. I gather this is because the owners have been quite happy with them. 

Then the other component that helped a ton was Shunyata power conditioning.  Can find used MPC-12 for bargains (got mine for $650).  I think proper power is so key.  If you get a chance to borrow any Shunyata gear I think you'd be surprised.  I use a Shunyata Theta 20 amp power cable for both my Shunyata conditioners with amazing results.  Each component matters in a good system!  Best of luck to you and keep us posted on your experience with your Hero interconnects.  Curious myself if you hear anything

@jrareform does your power conditioner provide surge protection as well? I’m just using an Isobar Ultra for surge protection. I know unplugging during a storm is the best but not always an option in the summer. On my old home theater setup I’ve had a Monster HTS something and it’s always done okay. I’m not sure if using the Isobar degrades anything. Any advice on reasonable surge/conditioner?

@kmm84 good to hear. Same drill with the Hero interconnects - give them time. Just use the system and the cables will settle. 

@kmm84 yes the shunyatas provide robust power surge protection as well.  I also have been meaning to do a whole home surge protector as other audiophiles have recommended to be double safe with my gear.  The Shunyata power conditioner probably made the biggest difference of any tweak I made.  I don't think our power is terrible but we do have an electrical box behind our house that causes issues sometimes and it may be helping with that or something else.  I am not an electrical engineer.  But the difference was not subtle.  If you have any hifi stores nearby, check out a shunyata conditioner or whatever products they carry (synergistic research, audioquest etc).  YMMV but it has been revelatory.  Some people say don't plug your amp into it.  Well I've tried my amp directly in the wall and it's clearly better through my Shunyata gear.  Cleaner, punchier, and better imaging.  Sorry to detail a bit but when I hear your journey, I always want to suggest components that may help even if they aren't on subject
