Your advice on a good cable

Here is my curent system: YBA 2 Preamp, YBA 2HCDT AMP and JMlab Mini Utopia speaker with a Cambridge CD6 player. What brand of interconnect and speaker cable you recommand to take the best out of this setup. I had in mind to buy transparent ultra cable but some people in audiogon think that they are overpriced and not good (ref: Hall of shame)

Thanks for your help.
And please dont tell my to buy 10K$ cable Im not rich :)

I agree with Onhwy. Also found the Red Dawn and Harm Tech to be excellent (and indistinguishable) with a budget CDP.
Only when securing a far better front end (emc-1) did I notice how hollow the midrange is on both of these ICs, for example. So perhaps get one of these spectrally saddle-backed wires for now, looking to a better CDP down the line. Have fun.

If you don't have small children, nosy pets, or clumsy cleaning people, I can recommend Mapleshade wire (www.mapleshaderecords.com). It's inexpensive, covered by a moneyback guarantee, and it really transformed my main system. Only problerm is it's thin and somewhat fragile, but it sure doesn't SOUND thin.

I like Harmonich Tech for the money. They offer a big sound,with a great frequency range. I use the Magic. I know it is expencive, but I compared it to some really expencive Siltechs($2,000 & $3,000) and Kimber Selects and prefered the Magic.

Fineberg is right the A/P cables are the best for the dollars you spend. My favorite is the silver ovals...there are some available on this website's classifieds.
