Need interconnects for new cd player


Hi, I recently purchase a Sony CDP-XA20ES to replace my beloved NAD 5355. Now I'm looking to upgrade my interconnects. Right now I have Monster Cable Studiolink 500 all around. What are some good cable that will match my cd player? Thanks

I don't think you need to exactly "match" your CD player.
Just go for some excellent IC that competes at the highest level, such as from Realitycables.com. You will be very surprised how much of the sound from your Sony quality player was previously missing in action with your old cable. This newer cable will begin to let you hear what really great cable can accomplish, and will continue to reveal all that each subsequent system upgrade can provide.
If you want to be a little opportunistic and practically "steal" high quality IC from another Audiogon member, watch for the Auricle Audio Design auctions. Even the more poverty stricken audiophiles among us can begin to hear what great cable can do. Prepare to be astonished by the cost to benefit ratio. Not sure for how much longer this brand's final auction bid prices will be so affordable.
Cables can deliver only what your components are capable of producing which means you will appreciate cables more as your components become more sophisticated. That old upgrade bug just keeps on biting.
Depends on your electronics, speakers and budget. If you use solid state electronics and have some treble glare try Silent audio Apollo C copper RCA interconnects, if you use tubes you might try their Apollo A silver RCA interconnects. Element cable twisted pair is also a good cable at a fair price but I find Silent Audio's have a quieter background. These cables are low priced on auction & audiogon listings and you will have to spend much much more to get better sound. If money is no object try K-works custom made RCA interconnects or check the reviews for Kubala Sosna and other well received high priced offerings.
My standard response is Oritek x-2's.
What others have you compared them with, please. And what is the rest of your system?
