Need suggestion for cables of YBA system

Thanks for reading. This is my first post here. Got a questions and hope you guys can help.

I just brought a new system old model from a dealer:
YBA YC201 CD Player
YBA YA201 Integrated Amplifier
Von Schweikert VR-4jr Speaker

I'm new on this field. I need suggestion on purchasing interconnect, speaker and power cables. My budget is $1500. My room size is 12x12feet. Listen classical music mostly. Hoping to buy a cable that will match my system while within my budget. Also keeping the resell value if possible :-)

Hoping to get all the cables online. Could you guys also introduce me some good online store. I know the last question may against forum policy. Please PM me this.
thanks a lot.

Suggest you use single stranded cable (or few strands), paralleled conductors, for IC. Low capacitance for spkrs. Now, as to actual brands: "Jade" (i.e. Audiogoner Jadem6) makes such cables; the top Nordost are also very good with YBA, but very expensive.
I used a Jade clone: made to authorized Jade recipe, but inferior materials. The JD clones replaced Nordost Valhalla on YBA Passion pre/ power.

OTOH, I agree with the previous poster: be stiff with your money when it comes to cables (and the JD doesn't cost that much I don't think)

I am very happy with Discovery Essence, Essential and the Discovery power cord with same YBA components. You can get all three on Audiogon for below $1000, and they hold their value.

You can get a 3' pair of Mogami 2549 with Neutrik Golds for $24. Purchase some Mogami 2921 bulk cable and have your local shop terminate it with Audioquest BFAs ($10 / pair, comes to $75 with biwire setup and termination labor). You can have some very nice cables for $150 or so. I love mine and worth a try...

Pro Audio LA will sell you the terminated Mogami 2549 at that price with the Neutrik Golds (not affiliated with them and I got mine from them).
