Please look at this blog talking about cables

I have replaced about $5000 worth of cables ( Hi-diamond8, auditorium23 and Nordost) with $275 worth of cables. These are Beldin 1804 interconnects and 16ga stranded tinned copper speaker cable made by Western Electric in 1950
The improvement in sound was substantial. Much greater experience of the recording environment, improved low level resolution, very wide and deep soundstage and great macro and micro dynamics. These cables are inexpensive and certainly worth auditioning. The resulting sound of these cables puts into question th very high cost of many cables. Stereophile just reviewed some new cables by Luna. If you read the description they are really Western Electric cables at a lot more money. The high end magazines will never review these cables
