You may never know when they are a better fit in your system. I've spent months (years) adjusting my speakers to get the soundstage I wanted. I've come close. Now, like others here, I change cables seeking the sound I want. And, like others here, I put previously used cables in a box in the closet thinking, they don't work in my system. I'm here to say, you may be wrong about your used cables. I purchased Wireworld Oasis 7 cables new and use them as phono cables. I had a pair of Cardas G Master Reference cables to go between my hybrid phono and tube amp. Okay but, too smooth. Next, I pulled as pair of Neotech DIY NEI-3001. Much better detail and clarity and midrange meat. Had these on for a bit. Sounded pretty good. But there was something I was still looking for. Sound familiar? I re-read Internet posts about the difference between copper and silver I/Cs. I had two pair of Music Metre Silver cables which hadn't worked in the system before. Into the box of broken dreams I went. In went the Music Metre Silvers. I need to mention also that many of these cables were in a system driven by a Grado Sonata cart. I have changed to a Grace F8. So, I want to say the Wireworld/Music Metre is a synergistic match in my system. Music is intimate, clear, natural and appropriately detailed. Don't sell extra cables if you don't have to. Keep experimenting.

Yep. I think bartc is also involved with a non-profit effort.
