Choosing new cables

I am looking to upgrade my current cables.  This should be my last system as I retired a few years ago and most of my components have been seriously updated in the last couple of years.  I have been in this audio hobby for about 50 years and have always have great sounding musical systems.

My current cables all work and sound great but are 15 - 20 years old.  So updating is what I need.  I am budgeting around $10k - $15k for all new cables.

I have always felt the i/c's were the most important cable followed by the speaker cables and the power cords.  However I am now leaning towards spending more on the power cords followed by the speaker cables and last the i/c.

  I know all cables are very important but how would you prioritize the cables?  Any suggestions on any brands would also be appreciated!

The MIT REV competes with their more expensive lines, a possible bargain

Siltech Classic Legend - extremely transparent, I purchased 880 XLR interconnects. HiFiPlus review here, Part-Time Audiophile review here

Hijiri - after reviewing this Hijiri Audiogon thread here and online reviews of the top of the line Hijiri "Million", these would be my end game target cables as they seem to compete with the very best cables but are much more affordable.  

Sablon Cables are high value competing with top cables

Good luck with your cable search.
