No doubt the brickbats descending on some pricey mega-cables (or many others) are well deserved, but, wading into better cables years ago with no knowledge or expectations, my ears instantly recognized a favorable difference, since reconfirmed many times as I've gone up the ladder. (Notwithstanding my remaining opinion that cables are perhaps the biggest snake oil area in audiophilia--some of the prices are beyond ridiculous.) I've recently transitioned from very well-known and respected cables that made a nice difference in my system to a brand with a very radically different approach, Omega Mikro. Their cables are "planar", i.e. extremely thin single ribbons of copper with minimal dielectric, almost no dielectric in some models. The company's emphasis is on the importance of timing, not the standard criteria seen in most cable designs. Pricewise, compared to performance, they are a bargain.
They've elevated my already excellent system to a new level--clean, pure, highly resolved, complete music. They require careful handling and a bit more attention in selecting, but once it you are set for enchanting sound.
