Who says cables don't make a difference?

Keep your 50 dollars cables.... But treat your room and prepare yourself for a big surprize....

The best improvement is not about cables but a dedicated controlled audio only  room.... :)

Life is short, get a girlfriend, or donate your time, don’t waste it on garbage that’s been beaten to death 5000 times not to mention the fact that it’s boring.

Limomangus I must be crazier than you I use canare 4s11 speaker wire on speakers that cost 3x yours. By my estimation you're sane. 
The speaker cable elf could swap out my cheapo cables for uber $$$ silver magic cables and I would never hear a difference. The speakers themselves and room acoustics affect what you hear way more than some wire. 

Well said joecasey.The skeptics (deaf luddites) that can’t hear cables have only one argument now: price! They immediately cite two choices--$4 Radio Shack interconnects or $10000 MIT’s. Or worse. If these disabled folks would spend ANYTHING ($100) on a decent set of used cables they’d settle down and enjoy their system. Maybe they’re just cheap, skinflint wierdos who wouldn’t spend a dime to prove whether their stubborn attitude means anything.They’ve never used anything they couldn’t find at Home Depot.How many people hook up a new set of cables and immediately criticize the sound? It's important to know how they sound out of the box--but only to evaluate the impending stages of break-in. If you can't listen to new cables for a week or two to judge, you probably bought them from the wrong source.You wouldn't do that with a new pair of hearing aids! That's all cables are: hearing aids!

 Moto_man;

you hit the nail squarely on the head. No cable, irrespective of price sounds the same in any two systems (unless they are identical, of course). So the consumer is always buying a pig in a poke. “Interconnects are like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” I look on them as fixed tone controls that work randomly and unpredictably. IOW, when you go down that road, you are opening a Pandora’s box that probably can’t be closed again. Is there a rehab center for that?
