I know this is a stretch but I do listen to my stereo with my Manjaro laptop connected to a DAC connected to my amplifier. Could any electrical engineers offer advice about the difference stereo speaker cables make to sound?
Generally speaking, if a cable isn't falling apart, it's OK. Premium cables from Monster, etc. are a waste of money. A few years ago, a magazine called "Radio Electronics" did a test, comparing Monster cables with ordinary lamp cord. There was no measurable difference. So, just go to a hardware store and buy some lamp cord. For low level audio, the plain shielded cables with "phono" plugs are all you need. Just remember the old saying: "an audiophile and his money are soon parted".
