What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers??

I am curious what speaker cables made a big "jaw dropping difference" in the sound quality of your current speakers.  What most impressed you about the difference;  that is, overall musicality, tighter, deeper bass, midrange clarity and soundstage depth, etc.etc. 

Keep the price of the speaker cables chosen or auditioned at  between $800- $1000 or  from  $1000-$1500. Was the cable bought new or used??

  Thank you,   SJ

To Maurice:   Can you describe what you like about the Clear Day Double Shotgun speaker cable. In your opinion what improvement in sound quality did it offer and  were distinctly audible.

I auditioned Clear Day Single Shotgun and thought it very good, but a tad on the bright side.  At the time I was using Acoustic Zen Hologram II speaker cable. which retailed for $1500  for a an 8 foot pair. My speakers at the time were the AZ Adagios. Overall I thought the AZ cable was smoother.  I ask Paul at Clear day if he had a 6 ft pair of Double Shotgun, but he did not have them available the 2 times I asked him  He is good guy and easy to work with.  

Thanks again to all who responded. The response has been very good and informative.  SJ

toddverrone,

I understand with kids and pets -- which is not my case. You can order insulation on Ebay, as well.

Don't waste your money...check out http://www.laventure.net/tourist/cables.htm
they have a very good article on speaker wires and connections.  Thoughts and opinions on the matter. 

I use .9999 "pure" silver made my own speaker wires, and interconnects once again all silver.  They have blown away every name brand and that is no b.s. 

I understand that some or most can not make their own, the above mentioned website also sells them complete.  Still cheaper than highly over priced name brands.  

It is worth a read....that is free...the result could be priceless.

rrwolfgram,

My silver wires also blew away every brand name I have ever had. Thanks very much for this link.
