Bang for the buck vs. “money no object” cable recommendations

Take a low cost cable which appear too warm in your system, put on it 10 grams of very small Herkimer diamonds (between 20 and 30), and call it a great Hi-Fi cable now...

Cost:10 bucks

I know that my post is provocative in a thread with "cost is no object"....

But i bet you would be surprized to compare my recipe with any costly cable.... This is the goal and experiment i suggest to the OP...

Dont thank me....

I wholeheartedly concur with SilverSmith Fidelium cables being the best bang for the buck in the industry.  Nothing I ever owned changed my system so dramatically.   New products are coming down the line soon.  I can hardly wait. 

Hi Iseland.
Mostly a rant!  But I did address an explicit part of OP's question so I was on-message.

Yes, I do like the low-end part of Siltech's offerings and generally the sound of silver interconnect.

I would like to hear from any member who has splashed 55 UK big ones on a pair of wires.  If they will admit to it?

Cables of from any super expensive brand should probably only be used if you have seen what your room can do without peaks and valleys.
Just start with an easy thing, clap your hands and tell us what you hear!?
Or sing and tell what you hear (echoes)?

I've tried a few high end cables and generally they have subtle differences but I've noticed a big difference with DH Labs Silver Sonic balanced interconnects, power cables, USB cables, and HDMI cables. As a broadcast audio engineer, I am convinced there is a special synergy when using the same brand of cables in your audio system. I know that sounds crazy, but I've heard a difference when mixing difference brands. And no, I am not employed by DH Labs! Everyone hears things differently so always let your ears be the judge.
