HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ?

I use Canare Starquad cables throughout my system, mostly for noise rejection, and it's dead quiet.  The genius that is John Siau, agrees with this, and that is what they, (Benchmark), offer for sale with their components.

Also on a recent Audioholics episode, he categorically lists the components in the audio chain that are most important to overall sound in terms of distortion, and guess what part of the chain is least important, that's right, cables.

I swapped out AQ Fire XLRs for Firebirds and was truly shocked by the improvement. The Firebirds are more balanced, natural and refined. I also demoed the XLR Thunderbirds alongside the Firebirds. Surprisingly, the silver Fire and copper Thunderbirds sounded more alike than the silver Fire and silver Firebirds. The Firebirds are neutral and highly detailed without being fatiguing.

@calvinj  I'll put the your name through to a cable connoisseur/collector who'll show up at my house tomorrow.

I'm more in the business of living vicariously through him and a few other dudes these days. 

@deep_333 o rn the infigo cables demo program. Would you like to,try something.  No cost you only pay shipping back.  

@deep_333 go ahead.  It’s not an out selling smthg. I want opinions on how good they are from people who try them.  It helps us knowing if real listeners like what they do or don’t do. 

"Other than tonearm cables,"

Those are cables.
