Advice on cables for Classe Sigma, Classe CAM 5300, Halcro DM78 & B&W 800D"s

Currently running AQ Redwoods from the Halcro"s and using a various mismatch of Van Den Hul interconnects from The Hill, The Rock and D102"s. I also use a PS Audio Direct Steam DSD DAC for 2 channel. The system is obviously a very honest and brutally revealing one. My dealer pitching Analysis Plus Big Silver with Silver Oval-in and/or the Solo Oval range. I want to clean it up but unfortunately can’t borrow enough of the same wire to fully make a decision.
Anyone else got a similar set-up or can give advice please?

Cheers from Australia.

@ultrab Why not try a full loom of AQ ? You already are running Redwood on the speaker.  Perhaps maybe trying Wind or Fire for your interconnects.

Playing with interconnects and speaker cables is fine but a word of warning with the Halcro amps.
I've had the DM10 preamp and DM58 monoblocks for nearly 10 years and they are mysteriously affected by after-market power cables. I have tried half a dozen different cables and especially on the power amps......the 'magic' of the Halcro sound is simply destroyed. It may be the reason for some poor performances at audio shows...?
Stick with the stock Halcro power cords and never waver...😎

Thanks Halcro,
May I ask what you interconnects and wire you use in your system and what source(s) you use?
