What cables would you recommend?

Ohlala, I'm sorry. Do I know you?

BTW, killer system you have there.

Sonoran plateau from star sound. I have excellent results. I understand the acoustic zens are very good but have no personal experience. Check audiopoints.com.

Think of LAT International. I switched over to them entirely, for much less money than Cardas, and found that the most enthusiastic reviews on LAT-cables on audioreview.com are true. My system - Audionet Art V2 CD-transport, Chord DAC-64, McIntosh C200 preamp, Mc-power amp, and Shahinian Diapason speakers for the first time sounds as amazing as I always thought it should. Search the archives here as well.

I continue to have great success with Transparent cables ... they are the most musical I have encountered. Too often we attribute "openess" or "detail" to certain components, including cables. When we hear un-amplified live music (as in a symphony) we realize that it sounds so different from our stereos ... IMHO Transparent is true to the real thing ... not the "HiFi" sound we have come to think of as indicative of good reproduction but that is far from reality. If reality is what you are after ... Transparent helps provide it.

I think Ohlala, is right about getting your preamp first.
