bought some off ebay for 11$ instead of the 50$ price at the shack 
 i used to have some zu oxyfuel cables (sold to a member and it appears the post office lost them :finger:10 days for 1st class so far )
 i purchased groneburg speaker wires from a member and  my sound changed-cant say how exactly-so i took out the super ultra expensive rat shack golds laying in the closet, i liked what i heard, switched back to my original speaker wires and the sound changed again. i have more top end detail with the shacks 
 so i said fuck it -the groneburgs and  super ultra expensive rat shacks sounded real nice so i took the zu cables out and sold them . 
saw the fusion at a good price on ebay so i grabbed a 6ft pair 
 just hooked them up to my odyssey sub amps for breakin.
they are directional 

 and have a ferrite plug , quality connectors also-
after they breakin for a few days i'll try them on the main amps.
i now realize cables do make a difference, but also dont think $ equils better---its all about synergy baby.
