What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers??


I am curious what speaker cables made a big "jaw dropping difference" in the sound quality of your current speakers.  What most impressed you about the difference;  that is, overall musicality, tighter, deeper bass, midrange clarity and soundstage depth, etc.etc. 

Keep the price of the speaker cables chosen or auditioned at  between $800- $1000 or  from  $1000-$1500. Was the cable bought new or used??

  Thank you,   SJ

None. I use ESL's, which require a series resistor for tuning the step-up transformer. So I removed the resistor and inserted Nichrome resistance wire, of the same total resistance, between the mono blocks and the speakers.

Essentially, I substituted the highest class resistor for a second class resistor, and have no 'cables' whatsoever. These non-existant cables are very transparent, I have to say.

@falconquest , you don't have to purchase the Clear days. Just talk to Paul at Clear Day. He will let you know which configuration will work better in your system. Then he will send you the cables, without taking your credit card information. Audition the cables, and if you don't like them, simply return them back to Paul. Good luck in your search.

My experience between the Clear Day Double Shotgun vs. the Morrow SP7 runs different than yours, likely due to different systems, I'm guessing.  I found the SP7's and the Clear Day's both to provide a somewhat recessed presentation, but the SP7 just sounded mechanical and phasey in the upper mids/low treble in my system at the time (EAR 890 driving Vandersteen Quatro's).  Mike Morrow generously doubled my trial time to allow for complete cable break in, something he said these really required.  I ran them in with music playing through them for easily over 700 hours, but I still found them wholly uninvolving, and even weird sounding.  I will write it up to a "system dependent" interaction issue.

For the record, I listen to the full range of music from classical symphonies and chamber music to jazz, to rock and EDM and everything in between.  The Clear Day's definitely sounded better to my ears, and that is what I bought from this shootout (even after Mike offered to sell the cables to me at 1/2 of the 30% off price that I originally was to pay).

The nice thing is that both Morrow and Clear Day allow for home audition before committing, so why not try them?
I use Clear Day Double Shotguns in both of my systems listening to jazz, rock and classic r&b - sounds good to me across all 3 genres.

I"ll also second Silnote Audio IC and digital cables.

Use Audio Art power cables

I wasn’t clear enough , I don’t think Clear Day is an "in your face" cable, just more so than SP-7 .
I use AA on every thing for Synergy , where they shine is coherence and harmonics and a very deep and tuneful bass with no "boom" . Best female diva , choral and opera I've heard to include 6K worth of MIT .
