12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable?

Welcome to Audiogon, apologies for the condescension. Honestly, I would not expect too much with the new cables. They may change the sound characteristics some, but are unlikely to be a significant upgrade for a couple reasons. The Denon, while nicely featured, may not be resolving enough to reflect the cable change. Secondly, I dallied with the Neardost gear from AliExpress, and other than a decent digital cable, the speaker, interconnect and power cables did not offer much improvement. Just my opinion though, the only way to really find out is try them. 

Nice collection of concert experiences, I have a lot of good stories too.

Welcome to Audiogon, apologies for the condescension. 

Some of us don't suffer fools so gladly. Not saying this applies to the OP, but really, some of the naivete in posts are clearly worth some criticism.

lak: Beautiful comment. This IS about the music for me also. Blessings to your mother.

zlone: Thank you for answering my question! Some day I'd love to hear about your concert history. I was just recalling the incredible sound system Cat Stevens had at the Auditorium Theater; massive room, pure crisp clean sound.

To those who called me "thick, a fool, troll, naive, posting a runaround and more, I really feel sorry for your displaced anger. Prayer helps!

All very pretty, but you still didn't answer the question. Did you know they were fake, and if so, why didn't you say it from the beginning?
