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?

The "how-much-improvement" depends---Lots of money and lots of exuberance/expatiation can make us happy; unfortunatly it seems to never end. I was reading an ad for 6ft. biwire at 17k. Then I think for those cables one should have near that amount in speakers--that amount in amplification--that amount in the front end,be it analog or digital.---Oh ya, ics to match. I think the parts need to be of similar quality to match the cost of wires. Meaning I think good wires improve good parts;but I think the "good parts" come first.---upgrading each as part of the journey.---I find I need a "fix" every 6months to a year, as I go along. Wires for me are last in the chain of money spent.I don't have a problem with those whom think differently.
