Honestly you really don't seem IMHO to get great cables by spending silly money. I use Homee Grown Silver Lace . In my somewhat less expensive set up. The silvery lace provide for a full spectrum very balanced warmer than typical pure silver tone and detail resolution. That you won't lose by using this intermediate price cable. It is the top of thw Home Grown line. The othere less thick but still all sivler to copper core options may not be as analytical.
Following Mechans train, I went with a Signal Cable Silver wire that has been extremely satisfying. Tried and dumped $500-$850. priced cable after listening extensively and finding that the extra money spent was not translating into better sound. (TNT V, ZYX Airy-1000, Pass XONO).
Nordost Heimdall is excellent. I've also used SR Tricon. (Currently listed here). Both are excellent. I agree about paying big dollars for these cable so buy them used and save.
