I am no reviewer.You know this allready.With my limited English,based on personal experience,i will try to pass to you my thoughts about cables and if anyone wants to add or comment about something,he/she is welcome.If you do not understand something i say,please ask me to repeat it in Greek.I will leave behind lots of things.Just want you to know this is my personal "rough quide" .
First-of-all , cables do make a difference.Problem is,not all of us can hear those difference. Why ? Let's categorize
those differences first.
a) Smoother sound
b) extended bass and treble
c) forward or laid back sound
d) soundstage,depth of field,etc etc etc
A is the easiest one to hear and all it takes is to make a quick test.B is not that easy to hear because if one has small standmounts with limited frequency response,he won;t be able to understand the improvement.
c and d are the hardest to understand,especially d.People are much less sensitive to foroward ir laid back sound.You need to have trained ears to perceive those changes and the only way someone without great experience to understand this is to allready have a laid back sounding system and his music prefferences to be,say hard rock.Now,as i said,D is the toughest one.You need to have a reasonably good system,a trouble free room and your system to be set-up correctly. This is one of the main reason ppl do not perceive those changes the expensive cables do,exactly because those cables do their best in the D area and since cheaper cables allready begin to make changes in the A,B and C area,going upmarket is harder to realise those changes
Another common mistake is the expectation that expensive cables can do all the difference in the world.Wrong !This is where the "diminissing returns" thing kicks in.A good $100 ic can make a hell of an improvement over a stock one.
A $800 one can make quite an improvement over a $100,yet this is where one begins to wonder if those extra $700 are worth the while.Now,a $10000 can give you the last ounce of extension,detail etc but how many of us have the right system to appreciate this,let alone the money to purchase one !Make no mistake,it doeas make a difference.You're just paying those extra $9200 to get 1-2% improvement.If you can afford it,by no means,go ahead ! 
last thing i want to say is most ppl use cables(and by cables i mean both speaker and ic) as tone controls.This is wrong although as a last resort,we all do it from time to time.A good cables should not add or subtract anything from the signal that passes through it.
I am not going to type anything more for 2 reasons.First,i want you to actually read this and if it gets too long,you wont and second,i am too lazy to write anything more lol
Okay,i am waiting for comments.
