Cable suggestions? Opinions needed...

I second the Bogdans. It is really comparable to my reference: Acoustic Zen Rev II Matrix but at 1/5 of the price.

If after you add up your alotment for cable and it comes up over $700 look into 47Labs OTA cable.I want to try the Bogdans also.

Take a look at the Alpha-Core Goertz speaker cables. Another that I would check out is Audio Consulting cables at Reference Audio Mods

Canare StarQuad S8 and S11. The recording pros love it, and only a buck a foot. From there I go to Blue Heaven for a brighter top octave.

May I suggest Jaden IC's and speaker cables made by Rosinante (www.roomlens.com). The cable designer is Ric Cummins, the same fellow who introduced the Room Lens, Dark Matter shelf, and Dulcinea speakers. The Jaden is pure silver and offers superb tonal balance, great detail, sophistication, smoothness, and dynamics.

I've heard many cables that were much more expensive (Nordost Quattro Fil, Silver Audio, Acoustic Zen, Coincident, Transparent, Tara Labs, Siltect, and so forth), but none had the tonal balance and detail as the Jadens. The good news, the Jadens are reasonably priced, less than the other cables that I've mentioned.

I personally know high end audiophiles who use Ric's Jaden cables, and they are quite happy. These cables are not widely advertised, but that doesn't mean they are not good. If you check Stereo Times, you will see a very favorable review by Clement Perry of the Rosinante speakers with Joe Fratus's Art Audio amp, that might give you an indication about the designer's quality products.
