You evidently want good speaker cable.   I have searched for a long time for the perfect cable for my system.  I had Audioquest, Cardas, Kimber, Purist...and the list goes on.  I finally found what I was looking for..... big deep bass, clean highs... 
Help with Cable selection
aseaman007 ...not wrong, just not as good.  The best biwiring is done with 2 seperate cables on each side ...both attached to the amp, and then 2 pair on each of the speaker connections for each channel.  Cables with 1 termination for the amp, and...

What is David Bowie's turntable?
I have hundreds of records....the one that sounds best by far on my system is a David Bowie record....the soundtrack from the movie Catpeople.  The sound is absolutely astounding...better than any audiophile record that I have (have many).  Its ve...
