As I changed my system, I passed up on an old pair of Clear Day cables to try something else without keeping them in. Almost two years went by. Big mistake.
In another thread I relate how they and a pair of Mapleshade Helix wires, used together (bananas for Clear Day and bare wire for the Mapleshades on the same post) transformed my system.
The Mapleshades gave such detail and resolution but the lower mids and bass weren't as fleshed out as the rest and adding the Clear Days brought everything to a perfect equilibrium. Resolution, body, tone, depth, sound staging are all spot on.
It's well under your budget. Maybe worth a try. Like Snopro says, Paul will probably send out a broken in pair for you to try.
All the best,
Nonoise
