Higher end value cables

Audio Art Classic interconnects. I think, they are $100-$120 new for 1 meter pair. I tried them out of curiosity, excellent for the price, not harsh or bright, reasonably good balance and tone, good bass. If you get them just make sure to point arrows on the jacket in the right direction, they are very small and hard to see. Audio Art has 30 days return policy, as I remember. The cables require 170 hours of burning in time, they don't sound terrible brand new, by the way. I don't use mine, keep them just in case.

do you want ’tone controls’ cables or more neutral cables ?

Some cables alter the purity of the recording or add sonic characteristics such as warmth, extended or "rolled off" highs, or how the soundstage is presented. This may be done intentionally by the manufacturer to create a "house sound," or it may be due to the materials used in the construction of the cable.
Cables can be used like a tone control when the components don’t have good synergy, e.g., if a system sounds too lean or analytical, cables with a warmer sonic signature may be used to provide a full-bodied or smoother presentation.

A neutral cable provides a transparent and accurate presentation of the system’s sonics. The goal here is to present the recording as accurately as possible; the way the producer and engineer intended.

This includes interconnects, speaker cables, digital, and power cables.

Check out Cullen Cable. I'm very pleased with the sound, build and service from them. Excellent high value cables.

Kimber PBJ should probably be on your list of possibles. $117 for a 1 meter pair of RCA interconnect.  Kimber makes a range of speaker Cable options in a similar style called 4TC, 8TC, and 12TC.

good luck!

I’ve been very satisfied with cables by Audio Sensibility in Canada.  They use mostly all OCC cooper and silver to make their cables.  I’ve had good results with Audio Art cables as well.
