Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs

Blue Jeans Cable Belden 10 gauge. Beautifully finished, practical connectors. 

Money no object buy stranded gold. Gold is used in airbag connectors. 

Silver tarnishes. Buy it only if you like cleaning it on a regular basis. 

I installed a $50 gold plated AC outlet for my system. 

I am an alumnus of an automotive technology school in Silicon Valley so my emphasis is on utilitarian durability and continuity. I was a Butler for a billionaire and his system was the same mentality. It's not art on the wall or medieval furniture. It's a cable. 

I would like to comment on an experience I had, not with cables, but an electrical outlet. Jonathon Spelt at Ultra Fidelis in Wauwatosa WI helped me upgrade my system with Vandersteen VLR Carbon speakers, REL T7 subwoofer, Aurender N200 music server, and full Audioquest cables. He also sold me an NRG Edison outlet, which I did not immediately install because, well, I was lazy and how much difference could it make anyway?

I recently installed the outlet and, oh, my, what a difference it made! The individual sounds became more focussed in space and there was more empty space around them. I could go on with the usual superlatives, but I just wanted to say, don't stop with the cables!

Best Bang for the Buck.......Morrow Cables......Completely upgraded my 25K system. Highly recommended.

For your interconnects, silver - pure, soft temper silver, not plated on copper, is by far the most accurate conduit for musical information. In a twisted-pair configuration without a coaxial shield, and passing inside inside a loose Teflon insulator, this cable can achieve incredibly low capacitance - meaning the signal passing through it will not be hindered or colored in any was. Transparent as fine crystal.

That’s the basic science - and being that this cable is a relatively simple design, it will be well within your budget.

So who makes this wonderful interconnect?

Stay away from Nordost then, as life with Nordost begins with their Vahalla 2 series and goes up to Odin 2, however, all of those will be out of your price range even used, anything less than Vahalla 2 cables won’t make any sonic difference for you unfortunately... I don’t have any experience with any other cables, see everyone’s recommendations that own those products. What I personally found is (power cables) should be your # 1 priority , then speakers, and lastly interconnects, my interconnects made only a marginal difference maybe 3%, in hindsight I would not have spent the money for interconnect cables.

Good luck there are a lot of others responding who can help you. If you have an opportunity to demo before you buy I would highly suggest that...
