Upgrade path the same for cables ?

Mr B- Try the Synergistic Tesla line(especially the Apex & Tricon Analog). Both will allow you to hear exactly what is going on upstream(for better or worse). The Kimber Select line(1030's/1130's) are also excellent, in that regard. I own some of both. Good cables WILL NOT sound good, in ALL systems. ie: If your source components are grainy, bright, etc.; you MAY be happier with a less transparent cable. Not the ideal way to correct system defects, but- many use cabling as tone controls. When some experience sounds that don't appeal to them(ie: upstream defects exposed by a good/transparent cable), they blame the wire. An excellent/transparent speaker cable= Analysis Plus Big Silver Oval(my latest upgrade and less expensive than what I was using).

i will recommend you to try Yamamura cables....no longer made, but you can sometimes see them here used. I use these cables as my reference for many years now and did not found any better yet....My friend has also Maggies and he also uses Yamamura cables with them.

But very best cables are always expensive and they should be.I believe, it is just as difficult to design and build great cable as it is with components?

I added the question mark after this statement because all cabling comes off of spools.With no or very little change in it's structure. The only thing that's added after is an RCA plug or spade or what ever termination is added to the finished product. I find it amazing that anyone would pay for such a common product that has gone through very little structual change.

Total BS and lack of understanding.

You typify the uninformed and inexperienced audiophile.

Audiofeil, shut your mouth and go service your customers. You may even learn something in the process.
