Simplifying my main rig and looking for cable suggestions

Hello all,
Looking for input.  I have decided to downsize and simplify my main rig.  Looking for cable suggestions.  In the past I have gone through Tributaries, Audience, Audioquest and finally settled on Synergistic Research which I really like because of detail without glassy harshness, very black backgrounds and especially their ability to project a very open  3D holographic and focused soundstage.  My negatives are minor....mostly I find them just a bit lacking for "meat on the bones" and the whole grounding thing which absolutely works but hate all the additional grounding wires....not visually appealing to have all those additional wires everywhere.  My gear is McIntosh MC75 III mono blocks, C500T pre, Lumin A1 w/ Kenneth Lau LPS feeding Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolutions (occasionally Harbeth Compact 7's) paired with a pair of REL G-2 subs.  Would appreciate any inputs.
Thanks

I would look at the UP-OCC coper cables from Zevfino or if your budget extends upwards, InAkustik

Both companies use a more advanced cable geometry for improved  performance and sonics

going from audiophile grade cables to generic or pro-grade cables will help to downsize and cut cost without compromising the rest of quality.
Mogami is for interconnect cables and Canary is for speaker wire can be found in most of pro-gear retailers such as fullcompas.com, musiciansfriend.com, zzounds.com, bhphotovideo.com

I think Acoustic Zen Satori might be what you’re looking for.  Excellent detail, imaging, and holographic soundstage with just a hint of heft in the mids.  Best of luck.

I decided to switch to Video Component Cables, two gave me 3 pairs of interconnects, each pair different colored connectors. (they peel apart to 3 individual cables easily).

6 nines copper, superior insulation, and, aside from the price, what makes me happiest, very tight locking RCA connectors.
