I never thought I would be a cable stand guy. I have been using a few mason jars for a couple of weeks. There is a difference and it is noticeable. I don’t have the most revealing system but I have modified things to make the most of what I have. Overall I would say thing let opened up a bit and seemed a bit less constrained. I was very surprised but I noticed the difference almost immediately. It reminded me of the surprise I had when I upgraded resistors a while back. One of those when I wasn’t expecting anything but… there it is…. Improved.
I guess I will spend the rest of my life explaining to people why my cables are on Audiofile Tinker Toys

Danny is correct, Parts matter, cables matter, the room is a hugely important, and get speakers off the wall. I would put my rather modest system and room up against most high end systems that are in a bad room. All of the knowledge shared is very much appreciated!
