Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire?

I once was lost but now am found, was deaf but now fondue.

No more speaker cable dilemma’s  for me, 😂

... If speaker cables make a huge difference, and there is a range of cable for each brand, why is it I can’t find a dealer that will take the time to run multiple A/B comparisons within the line they carry ...

Perhaps you are at the wrong dealer. There's always the Cable Company lending library if you truly can't gain the cooperation of a good dealer.

I wear hearing aids and I don't much care whether somebody on the internet thinks I should be allowed to be an audiophile or not. 

The best cables come from pre-1980’s Kirby vacuums. I buy them at garage sales when the person says they are broken. If they want $40 I offer them $25 (just want the cable). These things work the best. Better than the $1 a foot stuff and better than the $10,000 cables.

I truly enjoy when people say they hear stuff they never heard before. Nor did the artist or engineer. Have you ever seen the crap at old studios and the garbage cables they used. What you are hearing is something the artist DIDNT want you to hear because they would have included back in 1972. For you guys over 60 what you are hearing with your awesome cables is tinnitus. Go get your hearing checked, your ability to hear highs has gone down the toilet and is declining every year.
