Cables, Interconnects and More Cables???


I am trying to upgrade my system cables on a limited budget and I'm curious where the best overall values are into todays market. I have an Ah! Tjoeb CD Player into a Rotel RA-971 preamp into a Rotel RB-981 power amp driving B&W 603's and a B&W ASW 2000 sub. I have been using older Audioquest cables and its time to upgrade. Whats the word?

The above are all good suggestions. Especially the MITerminator2. They're fantastic for the price. I was using the MIT2 speaker cable with my JmLabs until just recently, when I went looking for an upgrade. The only cables I found that were better were from Kimber and the better MIT stuff. I went with the MIT again. I swear by them. Brutal break-in period though; I found my MIT2's took a good week of constant listening to start sounding their best, so be patient. Leave your system on and walk away. Don't even have a listen for the first couple of days. The Kimber Bifocal XL is also excellent, but quite expensive, even used. MIT also has a 30 day guarantee, so if you don't like them, you can get a refund. Don't listen to all the B.S. about how they roll off the high frequencies. For those of you that say that, would you mind explaining to me how I can balance my system from 70Hz-20,000Hz within less than 2dB if the high's are rolled off? Good luck!
I suspect Carl is probably pointing in the right direction, but not having tried MIT Terminators, I must echo Sam by saying that my Harmonic Tech. Pro-9 bi-wire and Pro-11 power cord do offer high end quality at a reasonable price. My Cyberlink Platinum coax has no obvious shortcomings and images perfectly. I would say that all Harmonic Tech. products are very "realistic". I know that in certain situations they may not have been the best choice for Carl and others, but that may be due slightly to the specific synergy of cables to their systems. Keep an open mind, try 2 or 3 of the suggestions here if you can. My H.T. cableing has not let me down.
I used MIT CVT Terminators ten years ago, can't comment on new ones. But my present Stealth cables (cross-wrapped copper and cross-wrapped ribbon interconnects, Premier and Ultimate Ribbon speaker) are A+ compared to C- for MIT: going back to MIT was like throwing a blanket over my speakers. See www.interlinkhouse.com, and not the 30-day money-back guarantee that reduces your $ risk to shipping.
Could not help but follow up on rockvirgo, I have Vac Avatar SE and Klipschorns modified with all silver wire internally but had not decided on speaker wire, "that" R.S. wire was in the closet so I hooked it up and yow! wall to wall soundstage, but I will still upgrade to Stealth biwire silver just to see the difference, the price difference is about 4 zeros!
You guys are just joking right......Radio Shack speaker wire $20 for 50ft........Why not buy a Radio Shack CD player there for home stereo $200...... Regards.....Sam
