Try Audioquest Diamond on the pre to power and try out the audioquest Cables for the speakers.I used some old audioquest speaker cable between my Threshold when i had it and now with the Conrad Johnson.Try to use the silver interconnects between the amp and pre.Also Kimber KCAG is a good choice also.Try to get them used so that you can save some loot and it's already broken in.I have Audioquest cable going to my Martin Logan Sequels.GOOD LUCk
