Hello again forumites....I'm sorry to be bringing up new threads every other day, think I've got the forum bug big time and can't find many interesting threads to interfere in :shhh:
Well my situation is that I have got about 30 feet of cables per speaker. Since audiophile cables are always more expensive than hardware store ones I am using some heavy gauge wire, very very thick stuff...its giving my wire strippers a hard time! I always believe the thicker the cable the better. So far I've noticed that these cables sound better than my previous 5 feet run of Van den huls. The problem with my Van den huls is that they've had a hard life, spent years in the storage and I used them after 5 years so I don't think its a fair comparison. Now the main question is that if I were to spend the same amount of money on some audiophile cables (around 2 pounds per metre) would I be getting an upgrade? How many of you have switched to hardware store cables from audiophile ones?
