Best wires for cost

I agree with the above suggestions....for the used price, Straightwire Rhapsody II are very easy to listen to...still with good detail and soundstage.

Acoustic Zen Silver Reference ($898)and Satori speaker cables($598).I never thought I would say this as I have changed ICs and speaker cables at least 5 times in the last year and my feedback here on Audiogon will show that. This cables from Robert Lee's Acoustic Zen IC's just blew everybody away,that includes, AQ Amazon,AQ Clear SE,Transparent Reference,Kimber Select 1130,and Nordost SPM and Quattro Fil (yes, I said Quattro Fil). In terms of transparency,treble extension,soundstaging(the quattro fil maybe at par)and bass control this cables are the best I heard yet on my system (all SS,EMC1,Krell KRC3 and FPB 200 and Thiel 3.6). This cables are pretty much underpriced I should say considering the performance they are capable of.

Not to offend anybody but this is what I heard and observed on my system.
Happy Holidays

I really enjoy my Clearview Golden Helix cables from the boys at Mapleshade. mapleshaderecords.com $85 for 8', 30-day money back. In/for MY system, I prefer them to my MIT and XLO Ultra Type 6 cables that are now collecting some expensive dust, (as they age and await my next upgrade and a possible reprieve.) Good luck, Charlie

Charlie,Im looking to upgrade my double run of Tara Phase 2 space and time.$85 for 8 feet? is that right? Can you tell me the cost of the others and what this inexpensive cable does better? Im always looking for a bargain! Im going to audition some Kimber 8TC soon and want to get the best bang for the buck.BTW the monster kitten shows no signs of mellowing out!!!

IMHO, HGA interconnects imbarass most of the Kimber, Nordost and MIT products at a fraction of the cost.
