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

To hiici,  I have gone that cheap speaker cable route. Actually I bought a pair of speaker cables on e-bay for $65.00 for a 10 ft pair about 3 years ago. i was amazed how well they were made. I liked them at first but after about 50 hours, they began to sound harsh and very bright. I traded them in with a Rega table to The Music Room for something, I can't remember


******  HOWEVER, Has anyone listened to or own a pair of Tellurium Q Black speaker cable. I have seen them mentioned on Audiogon a few times. They sell online for $495.00 for a 3 meter pair.  There are a few reviews around: Hi-Fi Pig and Audio Chews.  Not exactly main stream journals, but each review honestly claimed the Tellurium may enhanced what you already hearing, nothing spectacular, but both claimed excellent musicality and detail without edge.. Any feedback would be great.  Cheers to all. S.J.

@sunnyjim ,
For that much money, I suggest that you try the Clear Day Double Shotguns. I think you will be surprised by the way they make music.

I went from Nordost Super Flatlines to Analysis Plus Oval 9's. Not subtle.

Used AQ Oaks, that would fit the bill imo.

Here's some interesting  reading from a few years back. The author knows a little about audio...

Some here, will be familiar with this guy.

I find myself somewhere in the middle of cables make a difference augment. Embarrassed to admit that I've spent a couple of bucks on fancy wire. 

If you hear it, and can afford it, what the hell?
