Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank


I am in the process of updating my audio equipment and have realized my interconnects are probably not up to snuff; I use the ones provided by the manufacturers.  My current set up includes a Leben cs600 amplifier, California audio lab Icon Mark II CD player, Linn Akurate Streamer, Feikert Volare Table and Spendor SP1 speakers ( in final stages of upgrade to either Audio Note E, Devore O93 or Joseph Profile).  I have been investigating interconnects and have a bit of sticker shock.  So any suggestions on interconnects that won't  bankrupt me?  Is silver truly preferable to copper with respect to resolution and detail?
Thanks

That's a rich and, truth be told, beautiful story. If only we could all afford to be that way, but, truth be told, we could, in our own way.

It's all a matter of perspective (there's that subjective truth at work again). I've always loved models as a kid so things like mechanical watches, analog cameras, and cars made before the advent of OBD devices piqued my interests. Things made well with the intention of being well made. I'll always fell back on them until I couldn't figure them out. 😄

It was then that I relied on what my senses told me and it's served me well all these years and will continue to do so. If I had a sensor built into my shower that'd regulate the water to a perfect temperature setting so I'd never get burned, I'd still stick my hand out into it to make sure, no matter what the manual states.

LOL...I just get tired of the double-blind fans yelling from the left field bleachers.

Me too.
Being out in those left field bleachers allows one the luxury of arm chair refereeing. If they sat up close and paid attention, they'd witness, first hand, what's going on.

Correct! If you blind test and fail to hear the difference in a between a $15 cable and a $300 cable you must throw the evidence out. What will be attacked next? Perhaps walnut speaker wire elevators? Special on eBay now. 8 elevators for

It is interesting how many responses (many) come from a question about cable performance. I have had 45 years of cable experience.  During that period of time I have learned a significant amount about cable brand performance.
The obvious key is to match Cable performance With price/return.
all that said, here is a simple answer:  The pricing of Audioquest cables is well matched with their market level performance.  You cannot go wrong at any price point when purchasing an Audioquest product.  Unfortunately, this line of cables has been bashed in terms of their price/performance balance...This is far from accurate. The key is to match the right Audioquest cable(s) to your system.
I have no association with Audioquest outside of respecting their product line.
