Cable can be a very opinionated subject. I like Transparent's line but you will find supporters of just about everthing out there. Your best bet would be to buy some used here off of A'gone and if you don't like them, sell them for a small loss at most and try something different untill you find what suits you. If you buy ANY brand cable new, make sure there is a 30 day return policy so you have time to break them in and see if you like. You do not want to be the one taking the hit selling cables 2 months after you bought them.

No money is right. Most cable Co. had a family sound.Let us know your preferences: transparency, bass, focus,etc and people on this forum will be able to help you.

To stay on budget, consider Nordost or DH Labs. (The Clayton amp is said to have internal wiring from DH Labs, fwiw.) If you can blow the budget to hell, listen to Kimber Select! (I did, and there was no turning back.)
