Speaker wire... Diy?

ddjr,

Not to change the topic, but just so you can have a reference of sorts about cables you already have. I hope they are not cheap for a reason.

No, thank you, the seller was a guy who used to own a hi end audio store. Outside of denver. 
They look good, no cheap qualities

You got lucky. There are a few threads discussing counterfeit cables with people reporting how they sound. Responses are all over the place.

As you probably know, there is no shortage of cable threads here with any topic you can, and cannot, imagine. Good luck getting something out of them, though. They are personality competitions, for the most part. Your thread is, actually, polite and restrained one, but if you are looking for every post being on topic you envisioned, you are on the wrong website. It just does not happen and it would be strange if it did. Multiply that by, at least, 100, if the thread is about cables. You are new to this, so bear with us.

I have taken part in a Speaker Cable Comparison recently in the UK.
It took place at the home of a individual where at least half the attendees had a familiarity with the system in use, which was a
EAR 988, Wadia CDP, Quad 2812.
Four of the attendees are Quad Speaker owners
The Cables put out for comparisons were presented in the following order.
Quad Odyessey, Naim NAC 05, True Signal Silver,
Mapleshade Double Helix, Transparent, LFD.
The Mapleshades and True signal, were unknown cables to the group apart from the cable owners.
I am not personally of the opinion a cable has to match a system, as I have not had the experience of seeing how one cable can perform when placed in a multitude of systems.
I am of the opinion that cables when compared in a system side by side will at certain times show differences that can be referred to as a attractor and offers a improvement in SQ.
In the case of the above cables, the cables that totally took on the role of offering a improved SQ, that was a unanimous agreement by all seven listeners was the Mapleshade and True Signal Silver.
Following the session, certain members requested a loan of either of the two cables to take home and experience them in their own systems.
Interestingly the owners of the most well known brands and possibly most expensive cables were expressing their thoughts on how low down the list of they were at producing a attractive impression to the SQ.
