recommended speaker cables and interconnects

Lots of recommendations here. It is all very system-dependable. I would add Zu Audio cables to the list. I prefer them to Cardas, Cord, Transparent and Wireworld. They are very friendly and have a great no-questions-asked 60-days return policy.  

Don't underestimate power cables, Shunyata is quite special here. Avoid cheap/budget aftermarket power cables, they are mostly marketing exercise, at least I have never encountered a good cheap power cord, that was worth the money. Fun starts when you splash a bit of your hard earned cash.))

the cost has to be HIGHER then your system components together for good speaker cables.

so when you go on the website, buy the cable that has the highest cost and you will experience the truth about high end audio....

why? because the cable should be perfect. and you pay a price for PERFECTION.

Honestly, Chris at VH Audio has amazed me with his capacitors. He also sells cables, and his prices are good. I am basing my recommendation based upon his capacitors. Sounds wrong, but follow my logic. He has single handedly moved the needle with regards to capacitors. His ODAM capacitors are the best capacitors I have never heard. I call capacitors sound sponges, they do unbelievable damage to sound, but he has developed a capacitor that has corrected that like no other I am aware of. He's not going to suddenly compromise when it comes to cables. I'd call him and let him guide you, he's a listener first, dealer second. Great guy, great caps, and soon I intend to find out about his cables, buying an expensive DAC first though. Good luck regardless of what you buy or from whom. There is a lot of snake oil out there.

SARCASAM to the ENTH DEGREE!

I hope!
