A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt?

We spend quite a bit in cables for our systems, I'm wondering how much overall sonic improvement we get from cables? Let me explain my thought.....

I'm very happy with my current cabling (IC's, PC's, digital coax, and speaker cables). I was thinking about removing ALL of them and putting in ALL the original stuff I started with (stock PC's, cheap Monster IC's, Monster digital coax, and Monster XP copper speaker wire).

Then listening to the system to see how much degradation in sound I would have. Has anybody else thought of doing this or has done this?

>>$20K spent on cables may give you 4%-5% higher performance<<

How does anybody ascertain the percentage increase or decrease in performance for somebody else's system?

In the absence of any "standard", differences are purely subjective BTW, it's one of the dumbest things I've read here and that covers a lot of ground.

Cables are system and listener dependent. It's that simple.
