What cables are you running with your ARC gear

looking for insight from the community here. what cables are your running with your ARC gear. I have almost pieced together a system after being away from audio for several years (the kids college tuition took a toll on my previous system). my new system consists of an ARC LS25, ARC VT130SE, ARC CD3, ARC PH3SE and Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 speakers. comments and recommendations are greatly appreciated.

I've owned multiple ARC amplifiers and preamplifiers over the years, enjoyed them all!
We switched to solid state amplifiers and an all digital front end (without a preamplifier) when we integrated a theater system with our stereo system.
While AudioQuest worked well, we found MIT cables allowed our system (Wilson speakers) to reproduce music closer to the live event more than anything else we heard.

Shunyata or Sainline Systems sound great in my system. Also Audioquest is a good choice as are, I'm sure, many others referred to in this thread.

I used Harmonic Technology with ARC for years.
I'm using Wireworld now and think it's great
(Eclipse 7 between BAT VK300SE and Thiel 2.4SE).

Guess I'm a fan of high-purity single crystal copper.

Ron at Liquid Hi-Fi (Charlotte, NC) will take care of you.

Very nice system Dweller-

It is good to read about BAT paired w/ Thiel speakers. The Thiel CS2.4 & CS2.7 are my reference speakers and I am always interested in hearing/reading about the different brands od gear that are sonic matches.

OP-
I would add Straight Wire and Transparent cables/cords to your search. These 2 brands are sonic matches w/ ARC gear.
Keep me posted & Happy listening!

Grover Huffman cables are what makes my system sing. His Balanced cable made an night and day difference for me with my CD 3 Mk 2 and Silver bi-wire for my speakers. I've posted many accolades about them and of course this is my subjective opinion but they are the greatest in how they work for me.
