Blue Collar Cables? The great debate

I know there are a wide variety of opinions on cables. I have read the threads about cables and those debating the costs. I’m not trying to start a debate but am looking for ideas on interconnects, speaker and power cable around the $100 range…new or used. Right now I have stock power cables, Audioquest Rudy and Topaz interconnects and Audioquest Type 4 speaker cable...all with many years on them.

Maybe I will get heat for this, but here it goes.

When it comes to cables, sure cables are expensive but my thinking is that if I have spent a good amount of money on speakers and audio gear, then why do I want to skimp on speaker cables ? I am not saying to spend 10k, a pair of cables, but buy something cost relative to the rest of your system.

I think of cables as being the finishing touch or the icing on the cake if you will.

I've tried a lot of cables over the years, Speltz are the best cost conscious cable I've heard. My problem with them is the lack of shielding, not as good as the higher price spread with shielding. I suspect the lack of shielding is why they sound so good, all dialectics have a sound. I'd like to hear the megabuck vacuum shielded Tara Zeros.
