Couldn't really quantify the difference, but did notice that my ears "lasted longer." Seemed to remove a fatiguing effect so that I noticed that I was just listening to the music instead of the system.

I TRYED ALOT OF DIFFERENT CABLE IN THE PAST AND SPENDING ALOT OF TIME LISTENING AND ALOT OF MONEY THE ONLY CABLE I FOUND TO MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN MY SYSTEM WAS MIT. I THINK ALOT OF THE OTHER CABLE COMPANIES OUT THEIR ARE FULL OF IT.WHEN ALOT OF THEM ARE HAVING OTHER PEOPLE MANUFACTURE THEIR CABLE FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY WORK OUT OF SMALL PLACES AND CANT AFFORD THE EQUIPMENT NEEDED TO PRODUCE THEIR CABLE ON THEIR OWN I THINK VERY FEW PEOPLE SHOULD BE MAKING CABLE. AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT I HAVE COME ACROSS ON MY SEARCH FOR THE BEST WIRE.

There is a limit to what I would spend $200+ for interconnects is crazy. Your just lining someone elses pockets. Good middle of the road connections speaker and interconnects with reliable connectors do make a difference.

The better your system,the more critical your cable choices become. Top quality wire is essential to realizing top quality system performance.

Yes, a friend was using a good pair of monster spk cable with mission 752's, it sound good. but then upgraded to XLO type 5. It was just amazing, the bass and clarity. they were 1700 retail cdn worth every penny.

Can't believe the hype surronding so-called 'high-end' cables. I've never been able to hear a difference, but I'm more than willing to read about a successful double-blind test. Are there any? Till then I'm putting the money towards better speakers.
