Thanks to everyone for your responses. Some offered really good advice based on experience. Some went off the subject. Some did not read the full post!
Since my post I have ordered and received Raven Audio Soniquil speaker and xlr interconnects. The cables are breaking in as I write this update. Early reviews (after 10 hours) these cables are a steal for the price. Neutral, nice depth, soundstage and vocals. I tried cables with both tube (Jolida 3502s) and Hegel 160. Cables seem more relaxed at this point compared to Blue Jeans. Bass is better defined. Cables are a little stiff. Build, connectors are first rate. A++. I am tempted to try their power cables.
Next I will be auditioning Syngerstic Atmosphere active level 2 speaker cables. I expect to receive those cables in a few days and will update after audition.
