Any suggestions on a good match for these speakers
would be greatly appreciated.
Right now, I am using my backup cables (Nordost Gold)

I have the speakers dialed in to the nth degree, and
now I need to ditch the stock jumpers & backup
cables. They are very detailed & dynamic with wide & deep
soundstage. Now I want to add
a degree of sweetness.

The rest of my gear consists of:

Spectron D-1 amp
EE Mini Max tube pre.
Audio Note Cd 2.1x cdp
Wireworld silver ic's
Stock Pc's. (Upgrade planned)

System right now sounds great but a little harsh (hashy)??
"sometimes", and seem to get somewhat of a headache after
long sessions (fatigue??) I'm sure it's the $75 dollar
cables & steel jumpers!!??

Thanks for any suggestions.

The characteristics you are describing are definitely for from the use of silver in the cables.

Go with a pure copper cable as recommended by Gmood1.
I agree with 9rw at that perhaps the batteries are low in Sedona's hearing aid, so please someone send him some Duracells, as to the silver wire I would replace with copper IC as suggested above. Wires do make a difference and there are lots of Co. that offer 30 day trial so pick up a few and let your ears be the judge!
Cable Company has a cable Library and for a small fee you can check many wires out. Happy Listening!
Thanks for all the suggestions so far & keep them
coming.
What would you think of the Audience AU 24's in this system?
I have Avalons, Ayre Acoustics amp / preamp, Levinson 36s, McIntosh CD/DVD with Sota table, Morch arm and Ortofon high end MC cartridge. It's a very resolving and detailed rig. Plays loud with no loss of resolution.
I've experimented with many high end cables.  Had a good ole friend that owned Reed Brothers in Charleston, SC.  After much ado and testing, I have Cardas Golden Cross interconnects and bi-wire GC Cardas speaker cable.  Makes a wonderfully addictive musically involved presentation.  I have Kimbers well reviewed silver cables, and occasionally insert between EAR phone stage and pre-amp, boost up the mid range and treble for jazz bite.  Happy listening and others have noted, listen to your ears in your system.
