What cables should I buy.?


I am building my Music and HT system.
I am in need of help in regards to interconnect and
speakers cables. Which one I should buy?
I am a little confused: people's opinion is controversial
in the amount of money that it should be paid for cables. "Cable just carry the signal".
I have the Proceed pre/pro AVP2+6 channels, the Proceed AMP5
and the Jm Lab Utopia Diva Speakers.
Do I need also power cords for my components?
Thanks

With those speakers I would probably stay away from silver. Go with all copper like Kimber 4TC speaker wire. There are a number of budget choices in interconnects (Kimber, DH labs, Signal Cable, VH audio). Power cables should be last on your list. Better to keep cheap power strips out of your system. Plug amps direct in the wall. Use a conditioner for steady current components like processors and DVD/CD players.
How much money for cables?? Well,you're here asking such questions;which makes above Joe-6pk.level-if you know what that refers to.
To start; with regards to your installation, how long will/are these cables be?? As we all know;longer costs more. Your post says HT and MUSIC. I would start with the 'music-part' i.e.2ch stuff.--Ya'all got a 2ch. pre?--or is this music going thru you your pre/pro? The fronts is probably the best place to start and improve;whether this be 2ch or HT. After you find out what length you need--- look thru the used stuffs,here. I rec. stay with popular brands and resell them for near what you paid if they don't seem worth the money spent. Like many here,I think there is room for improvement;If you want to go "there".
Thanks all of you.

Avguygeorge: Music, 2 channel is going thru the
Pre/Pro. My sistem: both proceeds built for Music
and HT.
This question is too broad. Everyone's taste is different. I second that recommendation to try before you buy.

I don't have unlimited funding so I purchased all my powercords used from Audiogon. If I needed anything else I would do the same. Get 'em used.

I like Kimber Kable for interconnects and speaker cable. I use only PS Audio power cords because they were cheap.
