Need cable advice


Ok, I have moved my system and now need longer (10 ft.) speaker cables. I am mainly a 2 channel analog guy.....2 channel rig on one side of cabinet and AVR stuff on the other. Using theater BP on my Cary integrated amp. My equipment is as follows - Cary CAI-1 integrated amp, Rogue Audio Stealth phono section, Esoteric DV-50 cdp, Thorens td-160 / SME3009/S2IMP, JM Lab Electra 926 speakers. I listen to mainly jazz, alternative and classic rock. Have been using $300-$400 cables and have been satisfied with sound but have been out of the audio loop for a long time now so don't know if i'm missing out on anything. Don't mind buying used and don't want to spend more than $500.00. I should'nt have to spend more than this in order to extract quality sound. There's a lot of snake oil out there. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

SNS et al. You are right that you must audition cables in your own system. There is nothing I've tried that's worse than Cardas in my system. ..and so it goes. It closed down the highs, diminished the dynamics, put lots of grain into the system..yuk. I called and spoke to Colleen who said they sounded not broken in....after a year I tossed them.
Sns, I have a tubed preamp and power amp and have not experienced any problems with Anticable speaker cables!!
Why no mention of Acoustic Zen cables? Their Satori cable works nicely in my system, nicely balanced.
