Very similar recent experience. I've been using the inexpensive Radio Shack Mega cable (flat braided copper), and believed that spending more money on high-end speaker cables was not cost-effective. At the suggestion of a friend, I decided to try the Clear Day Silver Shotgun speaker cables (because of its 30-day return policy), and to my surprise it was like a major component upgrade. Most noticeable was all the new things were revealed on my SACDs and excellent remasterings (e.g. JVC K2).

I recognize that this is entirely subjective and system dependent. But I'm not running a science lab, I'm just listening to music I like at home on my modest system. If the positive results to my ears are consistent, and they are, that's really all I care about.

  That's how I look at it.
  
  I don't worry about whether or not it's due to actual audible differences. The ultimate goal is simple personal enjoyment, however it may come about.

    Then why bring up the question of "actual audibility"?
    
    Duh!
    
    Everything matters, don't forget to tweak your placebos!
