Thanks for the suggestions. I really appreciate what everyone had to say. I finally contacted the Cable Company and spoke to Ethan. He will send me some cables to try out from their lending library. I agree with the assessment that it's not necessary to go overboard on price. Ethan suggested some mid-price cables from Kimber, Purist Audio, and WireWorld for starters. I will also check out the speaker cables that Totem sells exclusively for their speaker line. Again, appreciate the recommendations.
Taking Suggestions for New Speaker Cables
Have a desire to replace/upgrade from current MIT CV2 Terminator 2S speaker cables. I have a mix of tube and solid state equipment - CODA 10.5r SS amplifier and Audio Note L3 (M3) tube preamp coupled with Totem Sttaf speakers. I have the Manley Chinook tube phono stage paired with Pro-Ject Debut Carbon turntable and Ortofon 2M Black cartridge. I'm looking at Siltech 330L entry-level cables, Nordost Heimdall, Kimber Kable Monocle X, and Cardas Audio. WireWorld also has some nice cables for consideration. Let me know what you think. Ideally, I want to keep this purchase under $1000. Used cables are totally fine assuming I can obtain banana plugs. The Totems require spades with 3/8" width in order to work - hard to find these custom size spades.
