Vitus RI-101 mkII cables recommendation


I have started this thread on the Wam with little success and thought giving a try on the side of the pond 😊

I have just purchased a stunning Vitus RI-101 mkII. With my home system I am not fully pleased with the sound and perhaps different cables would help.
Power cords: Nordost Frey2 and Heimdall2 
Interconnects: dac Frey2, LP12 TQ 2 black diamond
Speaker cables: TQ 2 black

I have read Tara Labs and Entreq work well but not sure which model would suit best my budget and music presentation style. I would like to emphasise soundstage - width especially - and having a sound the least analytical as possible.

Other components: LP12, Rock Nuc i7, dac Holo Spring 3 KTE, Avalon Idea

Budget for interconnects and power cables max $1000 each, speaker cables $3000 for 13 feet.

Thanks a lot for your advice.

I’m guessing you are dealing with serious buyers remorse over the amount you’ve spent, the last thing you want to do is toss another 4-5k into cables. You already have great cables.

The Vitus is probably awesome, I have’t haven’t heard it personally, but every integrated I’ve auditioned in that price range has been amazing. There is really nothing to nitpick. Live with your system for a while and fight the urge to upgrade. The buyers remorse will subside, unless you put yourself in a tough position financially, but thats a whole different conversation. Enjoy the music, I’ve read nothing but great things about Vitus, I hope to get a chance to check them out one day, it seems like they make some incredible gear. I bet the rest of your system is also killer. 

Thanks! The rest of my system is made of less expensive except for the Linn LP12 turntable which I have gradually upgraded over 10 years.

as a dac I have a relatively affordable holo audio spring 3 kte which I’m happy with, and a Rock nuc i7 as Roon core. Avalon Idea as speakers which I have paid 1/3 of their retail price.

I don’t want to spend more on cables but just replace the Nordost with what could be a better match with the Vitus and the Avalon. Hopefully some owners or people with more knowledge than me will chime in.

I've had to google your system.  Looks like your speakers were introduced in 1994.  are all the drivers and crossover components in good shape?  a great amp will still suffer if the speakers aren't performing.  

Unless you have an inadequate power cable currently, a $3k power cable won't get you where you need to go.
