Don't be bullied into either camp that wires do/do not make a difference.
USE YOUR OWN EARS. I did.At 50 years of age, with electronics hardware background, well, wire was
wire, at audio frequencies.Then, at many peoples suggestion, I went with my cables (speaker and interconnect), and auditioned them against "specialty" cables.
To make a long story short, I heard for myself, and bought new cables (Straightwire brand). Not expensive. About $40 a set for 1m interconnects and about $3 A foot for speaker cable. Not $100 a foot, or 99 cents a foot, but a reasonable amount for me. I heard a great difference between my cables and the new $40 ones. A slight difference between the $40 and $150. I was happy with the $40 ones (Straightwire Chorus).
My system is modest, but I can hear the difference. I am very happy with my choices.
You must be happy with yours. Let your own ears, not someones blustering, make your choice for you.
