I have a BAT VK-20 and a BAT VK-200 and B&W 801 Matrix IIIs. What are the best cables to use with this equipment?

Who knows, unless someone experimented with that setup. That said, I had a Vk30 and Vk200 and found that match to be a bit dark, adding an Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II was a very nice addition.
Contact the Cable Company and audition Nirvana S-L or, better yet, S-X Ltd. Not inexpensive but if you're patient you might find some for sale on A-gon.
I've owned a VK200 for over a year now and really like it. I had aVK3i mated to it for about a month, but for the last nine months or so I've been using a Blue Circle BC21 preamp instead.

I experimented with different configurations of Acoustic Zen cables - Silver Reference II and Matrix Reference II - from DAC to pre and pre to amp. Eventually settling on two runs of Matrix Ref II. I use the AZ MC2 from transport to DAC. In my case, using the Silver with the Matrix or two Matrix depended on what tubes I was using in my DAC - Silver Ref counteracting dark tubes, and Matrix Ref taming revealing tubes.

All the Acoustic Zen cables I've owned are very smooth and throw a huge soundstage. Choosing which one to use depends on your taste in playback and what you're trying to achieve sonically.

What cables are you using now and how do you want to change the sound?
Thanks to everyone so far. Hi Gunbei, I'm currently using Monster Sigma Retro Gold interconnects and speaker cables. I like these cables but after the expense of the new preamp I was just wondering if I was really getting the best sound from my investment. I would like for the high end to open up a little bit and the midbass to tighten up. These things may happen after more burn in time (the speaker cables are fairly new.) The equipment I'm using doesn't have any tubes. I previously used a VK-30 tubed preamp and decided that I wanted to go back to solid state. About the time the VK-30 was burning in and sounding good, (It was still a little dark sounding) I lost a tube. This was just too frustrating for me. Thanks again for the input.
