You are  not going to be blown away by cable it is a refinement to a well put together system not a band aid to fix problems with the system mesh,setup, and positioning is much more important than the cable but when all is right the great cable will put the finishing touch on a great system.

Bad idea on borrowing from the cable company. Don’t do it. You will get ripped off and end up buying a cable at full retail you never wanted. Nobody in their right mind needs to test cables.

Good Advise thank you  everyone

"Is we all have a shopping bag of left over cables WHY many because always hoping for that new improvement that some thing extra"

In my case YES. There literally a bag full of old cables up in my loft. I'd sell them but I see it as fraud. Maybe a charity shop could use them?



"My most $$ power cable a well know company VD i have retailed for 1,200. 00 back in 2017 Hi Fi award all that stuff you like a new Car of the year again ."


For sure, every year, every magazine features awards.
No adverts, no magazines.


"so who make s great cables & NO i Don't want Garden Hoses behind my audio rack that don't bend or are so heavy they have to tired up in order not pull down & fall out"


Me neither, I'm sick of unwieldy industrial wires behind my system. Nor do I want cables that threaten to snap expensive sockets each time they're plugged and unplugged.

 
"do i have to go on & on NO i don't think so i have NOT been BLOWN Away as of Yet just NOT satisfied."


Then how about ignoring the annual end of year magazine fuelled hype and sticking high purity decent gauge OFC cables?

Seems to work ok.

This is what you want cable wise that's cheap by any high end standard & creaming every other cable >

This is just one of many reviews confirming this (this one from one who has also written for stereophile & The absolute sound).

You will never find it.  Never.  Unless you impedance match your equipment with your cables.  The sound will otherwise never get across and everytime you change it you will only change your impedance so it sounds different, sometimes better, but never better enough.  Start with the speaker cables you complain about.  That makes the most difference, if your system is good enough.  You will look ALOT and ask manufacturers ALOT and most manufacturers don't even know.  I build mine, calculate them, and the sound is completely real in the listening room.  Like every song is live. It blows everyone away.  All the time.
