Cables for Conrad Johnson and Proac D25 system

Hello, everyone
I am looking for your recommendations on speaker cables and IC's for the following system:
1. Conrad Johnson CA-200
2. Musical Fidelity CD 308
3. Proac D25 speakers

Currently using QED siver anniversary bi-wire and Alpha Core IC's. The music I listen to is 95% instrumental. Primarily ethnic percussion driven type (indian raga's and Middle Eastern), big orchestra, lots of electronic ambient, some classic jazz. I can't detect anything wrong with the current cabling, except that my concern is that the current cables (being clearly mid-fi) are limiting the potential of my components.
Thanks!

Based on your system (i have a mf cd308 now and i have had response 1sc's in the past) my experience with the Alpha core products is that they are good but lack the air and space that other cables can have. I recently borrowed a set of Shunyata Andromeda Helix Speaker cables and i was absolutely blown away by the sound and 3-dimensionality i was hearing. If the price of those is prohibitive, check out the Gemini (im getting some) as they are about half the price. If your curious, my current system is:

Belcanto evo200.2 amp
Musical Fidelity A308cd Cd
Audio Research LS16 Mk II Pre Amp
PS Audio Statement Speaker cables (the older model)
Ref 3a mm Decapi i Speakers
Acoustic zen ref matrix interconnects
