Need CD interconnect advice.

I need to replace my .5 meter pair of Kimber Silver Streak cables with a longer 1-1.5 meter pair of cables. I'm wondering what are some of my best options for under $200 new or used? The cables will be connecting a Sony 777ES CD/DVD changer to an Arcam AVR300 receiver. I haven't used the Silver Streak in this setup because the cables I have are too short. Should I stick with a longer Silver Streak, go with PBJ or some other cable for my analog connection? I have a Kimber D-60 as my digital cable but need an analog connection as well for SACD listening. Thanks for any input.

Try Silent audio apollo C (copper). Email Paul and see what the price is if the length you need is not on an Audiogon auction. I expect you can get them for a trial and risk only the shipping. I have three pairs and they are dead silent, smooth and musical with solid state equipment. I expect you will only spend 25-30% of your budget and will be well satisfied.

I can only tell you what I have used and been very satisfied with, and that is Goertz Alpha-Core. I use them with my Sony DVP-S9000ES and have been extremely satisfied with them. They have bettered the Kimber wires I have owned and are also better than my Tara Labs Air 1 I/C's. Just my opinion, but that has been my experience. BTW, they will let you try them for 3 weeks, risk free.

I'll second the Pulsars which I believe have a 60 day trial. I've used them in my system before with the WBT NextGen Silver ends. I also am impressed with Alpha Core products as well and use their speaker cable, but have no experience with their ICs. With a trial period it may be worth checking into both of these options.
