Cabling for First 2.0 System

In my HT days, I used AR, Monster, and even (ghasp!) Radio Shack Gold cabling to string together my components.

However, with my first pieces of kit on the way for a dedicated 2.0 system, I wonder which modestly-priced cabling would work best for a system described below.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks!

A great cable and a great buy reside in Isreal Blume's Coincident CST ic. At 299.00USD a miter retail they are hard to beat for overall excellence in Hifi values. I have them in my tube system with the likes of Atma-Sphere and Aesthetix and imo they do little harm to my music. They are very neutral and are not a cable to attenuate or "fix" a system problem as many cables are used for. The one down side to these wires is they take 200+ hours to break in (no kidding). Read what is said about how they compare and you might be surprised:

I have had very good results with e-ticketcables, without spending much.
