Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…?

I can't believe what happened. I was changing around my system and needed cables a little longer than 1m. I wanted silver coated cables for sound quality and searched amazon. And there they were... 4ft silver coated cables.... the price made me think this is a scam.... can you believe $12.60 something for silver coated cables so I said what the heck I'll bite for that price. They looked very professional when they came so I put them in my system..... I just thought I had clarity up until then. These cables blew me away and I still can't believe it. 

You got scammed. I have seen those same cables on Ali express for $3.99. Another audiofool is separated from his money. Bet you couldn't tell the difference between those and your previous cables with a blind A/B test anyway.  

audphile1 - What goes around comes around. Sometime back I contacted Jeff about replacing my speaker cables with the Audience. However, my Shilabe cartridge was aging and was starting to lose its pizazz. Again, I had to make a choice and bought the Verismo from Jeff instead. Only last night I was thinking about the Audience again after moving out my speakers. I started poking around and saw that the House of Stereo has a demo of the SX discounted. Even with my speakers moved out, I believe I can get by with 2m. Thank you for the advice about starting with the speakers and then move up the chain.

mclinnguy - No worries, all information is useful.

pindac - Looking into it, I noticed that information about the wire was somewhat sketchy…disappearing. Unfortunate.

Having Wireworld Polaris and Cardas Cross cables you all now realize that I’ve been out of the loop and poking around for years. I am basically ignorant with what’s up today, so why my post. In my mind, like a line stage for example, cables should not impart their own sound or color (grunge) onto your system. However, I see descriptions, posts, whatever, about tweaking one’s sound with these. Today, I want to hear my system as-is, so what do I choose or try, since I’ve never heard my system that way…With what I’ve been using? Am I making sense?

Your setup is fine.

I would seek the best available  pressing of your preferred music and avoid audio forums.

No cable/tweaky add on will magically  transform it like having a dedicated room.

Firstly the MSRP of your system is irrelevant here, I just like this expression “You can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear” Another favourite “Some tweaks for twits”  Think diminishing return, placebo, a little returnable experimenting will enlighten you not lighten your wallet. 

@kennythekey It is pleasing to see you have the idea if producing a Build Your Own Cable as an option. Substantial monies are to be saved, even when using Connectors that are known to be an upgrade to how the signal passes through them.
