Cable confusion and questions.

First let me say that I have gone back and read a lot of the cable threads and am now more confused than ever.There are so many cable recommendations and types that most of it doesn't make sense.I have gone on the various websites mentioned here with a number of brands and have narrowed down what I need but would like a little more info and suggestions.I have looked at the blue jeans cable(belden or canare),morrow cable(sp2),clear day,kimber(8tc),signal cable,goertz alpha core,mit(avt3)and monster cable.Can someone explain in English any differnces in these cable and suggest something for my system I am getting. which is an Integra 9.9 receiver and Paradigm studio speakers.Thanks for any help.

I've had years of listening experience with the Kimber 8TC and found it to be a fine cable. However, I quickly sold them once I heard the JPS Labs Ultraconductor which goes for the same price used. The JPS sounded more open, detailed and the highs more refined and smoother without loss of detail and the bass more defined.
As someone said earlier in this post, much of this is subjective, and component dependent.
Trial and error with used cables that have good resale value is the way to find what you like.
Also, The Cable Company 'rents' cables for you to try in your own system and is worth exploring.
