Looking for IC and speaker cable suggestion

My bug finally moves to cables. I have not upgraded my cables for over 5 yrs. I am using a pair of Audioquest Vipper between Oppo 105 and C-J 17LS2. The speaker cables between ARC VT100 and B&W 805s are hefty Monster M series (can't remember the number) that I bought over 10 yrs ago. All other cables are cheap less than $20. I am looking for upgrade to maximize the potential of my gears. Here is my list of components:

2 channel system: Table:VPI Aries I, Phono stage: Conrad Johnson Premier 15, Preamp: Conrad Johnson Premier 17LSII, Power amp: ARC VT100 MKI, Speaker: B&W 805S

HT: Source: Oppo 105, processor: Krell S-1000, Amp: Krell Showcase 7, Speaker: B&W 105S (F,C,R)

Thank you.

I have recently replaced $3000 worth of cables with $250 worth. Much better
Interconnects are Beldin 8402 cable
Speaker cable is 1950's Western Electric 16 gauge stranded cable
The expensive stuff was HiDimond 8 and Auditorium 23
Go figure

I just replaced a bunch of pretty expensive cables with Clear Day and it was pretty GD amazing.

Been using Blue Jeans cable for IC and speaker for some time and am quite happy with what I'm hearing. As far as cost they were quite inexpensive but far better than my Transparent IC and Monster Speaker cable which BJ cable replaced. Currently seeking a cable upgrade myself and have some on order to audition. I'll post my opinion of them after break in and critical listening.

Very happy with Anti Cables for ICs and speakers. Priced appropriately too.
