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.

HiFiman...  Those are John (AudioConnection's) recommendation. Try Clear Day for the heck of it.....

@stringreen .....I seriously doubt hifiman5 based his opinion totally on JRs advice.  It appears he has done lots of leg work to get to where he is now.  Look at his system, synergy up the yin yang.   Regards........

carmenc.....all I did was suggest ClearDay cables, because they work so well for ME, and I am a nice guy.  Actually all cables sound different connected to different gear.   No one cable recommendation can bring Nirvana.  Clear Day has a no charge audition to the purchaser.....the buyer can send them back or he can make a pair...   up to you.  JR doesn't like silver, yet silver works for me....and so it goes....

@stringreen totally agree about the Clear Day.  I have to admit, they've peaked my interest.  May give them a try.  You have them connected to your Vandys now?  Take care.  Regards.......

Carmenc.....I do use Clear Day...double shotgun.  All my electronics are Ayre with Vandy 5A.  Ayre highly recommended Cardas ....I tried every permutation of Cardas..from the cheap to the most expensive   awful...., Purist, Audioquest, Nordost, Wireworld, etc, etc....nothing working FOR ME as well as Clear Day.  If you don't like it you can always send it back with no charge.
