@soix I've had Cardas Quadlink (CD to amp) and monster powerline 2 speaker cables for a long time and thought it's time for a change for something better. I borrowed Cardas Prosec and Shunyata Gamma from The Cable Company. Don't really know what I expected but I think they were better but not by much. And how well do I remember what each cable sounded like? Anyway, thanks for your input.
