    Until I swapped out the Monster cables and power conditioners I had for years, I had no idea how they changed my sound. They were worse than standard (oem) cabling and plus into the wall. When I hooked up the AQ Niagara 1000 and some decent RCA’s from AQ, my sound changed almost as dramatically as new speakers. No joke.
    Like Jesse said, you don’t know what you don’t know. Until you try something new.

    Bonus pic. Hate spring clips and how either bare wire or pins are the only option with them. This just makes me nervous:

    I know the spring clips grab the indent on the pins but, that photo makes me cringe!
    Nice review.

    I have changed one set of speaker connectors on all my vintage stuff to
    Standard binding posts. Spring clips are worthless.
    Not hard if you plan it right.
