cable suggestions for new system

Check out Mapleshade cables. They're sold direct, with a 30-day moneyback. I'm using their ICs, speaker cables, and PCs after replacing much more epensive Kimber and Audioquest wires (sold them for more than the Mapleshades cost). Just a suggestion.

I would like to add Analysis Plus to your list of cable selections. Finally, to me anyway, a cable in which I can call it quits. I am finally DONE with cables for my system!

Since(I assume)its impossible to audition more than a few brands of cable and the "sound" of any cable is system dependent, why not talk with the manufacturers of your equipment? Since they demo their equipment at audio shows, they, better than most, should know what cables best match their equipment. Unless you receive a recommendation from someone who has the same equipment (and listening preferences) as your system, any advise from other Audiogon members is, at best, only a reflection of their preferences (for good or bad!).

If you are not looking to spend a lot, you can get good results with boldercables.com Nitro's or Bogdan - see the interconnects on the home page

If you want to expose all of the music and make it a religious experience, then Acoustic Zen or Empirical Audio, but this is more expensive - you get what you pay for in this list

I forgot to mention Alpha Core MI2 Veracity speaker wire. I have tried MI2 and Kimber 8TC wire on my system and think the MI2 is the clear winner. The Kimber Hero IC has gotton much recognition in the magazines and here at Agon and is what I was thinking of when I mentioned Kimber.
