I use FMS Blue original phono cable and Blue type 6 between preamp snd amp. I use Waveguide (gray) speaker cable. No harshness or smearing of the instruments. I look for neutrality cables that open up the soundstage.
these all work to that end and provide musicality. Sounding like real music was a passion for Alex Gibson. Many may not know that he was the silent pioneer in the development of cable design. When you see how he had the wire spun you see some unique processes (inner core teflon with fine pure copper strands encircling the core and leads in twisted pair covered by shields) well before the industry bell curve on wire design. Alex pointed out that in audio nearly everything is wire. It really matters.
