recommended speaker cables and interconnects


trying to upgrade step by step my stereo system, after not dealing with it for awhile.
right now have 3 kinds of speaker cables.
old audio quest , and an old monster cables.
a bit newer Kimber cable that are too short for my current configuration.
for interconnects, one pair of MIT mi-330
and one pair of Audioquest Ruby 2.
looking to upgrade for moderate price.
can’t give a budget range cause i am not familiar with the prices .

i mean power cables vs. interconnects and speaker cables.

i have heard a tremendous change from changing the power cables. Of course interconnects and speaker cable matter, but I noticed the biggest noise riddance with power cables, then speaker wire, then interconnects. Meaning I would put your money at the source. Power cables first then speaker, then interconnects. I was told by a dealer, first speaker cable and interconnects. I could not disagree more. Power power power. Cables from the front end make a huge difference. So I suppose I would pony up big on that end. Then add interconnects and speaker cable. That is of course only what my ears hear. Noise really goes away when adding great power cables.

another way to think of it is good food. The source. Everything comes from that. Feed the plants. Give them good food. That is why I am so happy I have a dedicated line with a nice dedicated cable. Of course many will say that is useless. In my opinion, it is not. I am always chasing white noise, and that crappy film in the sound, like a bad TV fuzzy view. I hate noise. I am a classical violinist and really hate fuzz in sound. Power cables and dedicated line go after that for a cleaner listening experience. 

I use Audience Ohno cables for $160 M. I also use their speaker cable or Kimber TC12. My digital coax is a Kimber D60 but for ten percent of the cost and most of the sound a Mogami 2964 digital coax from Amazon is quite good for only $45. 

Well na NACA five is by far the best vat priced speaker wire I have every heard. I also had a set of Tara labs off the roll speaker wire. I found Kimber 8tc on the brightside. Same with 4pr. Audioquest midnight lacked resolution lots of body in not terminator 2 I like transparent super I have a pair of transparent plus on my rear surround home theater set-up. In the main system I have used transparent ultra reference and reference xl. Each step the sound quality goes up. I have reference and reference xl interconnects and second generation super power cords that was there topline powercord back them. Changed the ends to the top furutech IEC and plugs. Also used a reference Xlo on the turntable and cd player. I have also started to play a bit with the furutech line of cables so far I really like them as well.
