Decent starter cables?

I feel that the Coincident CST 0.5 loudspeaker cable is the BEST BUY in that area. Very close to being a world class cable at the $200/8 ft price point. It definitely betters the AudioQuest Midnight cable which I also own.

In terms of interconnects, if your system is not harsh, then I recommend the HomeGrown Audio Silver Lace. I find it to be the best IC I have come across, and the price is less than $200! Coincident CST also gets my nod. Reference quality cable to be sure. Under those prices, if you prefer silver, try HomeGrown Audio Super Silver. A bit better than Kimber KCAG at 20% of the price. For copper, buy the best AudioQuest cable $50 will buy you.

Check out Discovery cables. They are excellent for the money.

You should mention your system so members can help you better in cable choice.

What is your budget and how many interconnects / speaker cables.

You asked a good question but left us with no parameters. Decent??? Cost??? Kimber and Analysis-Plus probably cover all the bases. With either company you can spend as little as $100 for 10 feet of speaker wire and less than $100 for ICs that you can keep for 1-2 system up grades. Alternatively, you can spend $200 on speaker wires and keep them for a long time.

It comes down to what sounds best with your current equipment and what you want to spend.
