When I evaluated speaker cables many years ago the only ones sounding different were MIT with filter boxes on them. All the others sounded the same to me.
This may have been expectation bias, since I know of no sound (
) reason why non-eccentric speaker cables should sound different to each other.
I do own some quite expensive nice looking cables but the 2 sets of speakers I use are have relatively ordinary specialist speaker cables with banana plugs. The first are traditional speaker cable which was a tad under £20 from ebay and the other are waxed cotton insulated single strand identical to that inside the speakers.
