Interconnect cables, Speaker cables & Power Cords.

[Intamin]

I buy into interconnects making a difference. I switched from monoprice rca's to audioquest and blue jean cable interconnects and could easily hear a difference. I don't know what specifically it was, but it sounded better, so I was happy. As far as speaker cables go, I'm on the fence still. From what I've read and listened to, I honestly can't tell a difference. I still want to upgrade speaker cables from what I'm using just because I buy into you're only as good as your weakest link theory, plus it's something fun to get, but I can't tell. Maybe when I get new cable in my own system, I'll tell. PS, my experience comes from using some audioquest X8 (I think) cable in my system vs some monoprice 12awg speaker cable. I've also listened to Nordost cable and other high end cables when auditioning speakers, and I can't say that I felt like the cable was making a contribution to the sound.
