Ask a rude question... speaker cables

[record_spot]

You never experience that sensation of 'what if?'?

I know I do, although it'll be AV changes only for the foreseeable.

Been at this hobby for over forty years. What ifs and cables long ceased to be of any relevance for me really.

Ditto time-wise, but not otherwise.

Look at the construction picture....great for protection against ship anchors when used undersea.

I personally wouldn't ignore the effect of different cables but only if/once everything else has been optimally done. As to how much to spend ... more doesn't always mean better.

'Different' probably better sums it up.
