@ zd542,,LOL! You got me laughing again!, please excuse me!, your contexts are hilarious! I am not aware of that happening my self! would be cool!, one station or studio would sound better than the next!, I think we are on to something!, how can the both of us make something like this really happen?, the cable companys would make alot of money thru promotion of the product!, lets get paid!, I am not kidding!,, cheers!
I'm almost afraid to post this, but here goes...

I just started (okay, restarted) this hobby after a 25 year hiatus. I just upgraded my stock power cable (looks just like a computer power cable) to a Shunyata Venom 3.

I can hear a big difference. My speakers sound better to me. I have not compared them to a $3000.00 cable. I don't need to do that. For the time being, I am quite smitten by this cable's contribution to my enjoyment. Perhaps, as I progress down this road of improvements, I will try another, better cable, but not now.

I'm using simple 14 gauge speaker wire. I am told such and such speaker cable will have a huge impact. Since switching out my power cable had a noticeable effect, I am now willing to entertain the idea of better speaker cables.

Just my humble thoughts.

Regards...
Don't be afraid Mresseguie, you are correct, it sounds better. The differences are not subtle either. So enjoy your new cable while you can, the upgrade bug is about to bite you.
