Warmglow, my saying is "cables matter'. These days I tend to spend about 50-60% of the msrp of my components on cables, but that is my limit. But I don't advocate spending money on cables without considering the overall synergy of your system. My approach to system building is to start with buying the best speakers you can afford which you love & build your system around those speakers incl: amp(s), front end, cables, AC power, isolation & racks. Everything matters.
I personally like the sound of Jorma Design cables from Sweden. They sound natural, resolving and musical. Their top Prime cables are also a touch on the warm side and sound harmonically rich which is great with female voice, jazz and classical where they come into their own. But pop and rock are very well served also. Their overall neutrality allows them to be even handed with a wide range of music and system configurations.
I recently upgraded from Jorma Prime speaker cables to Jorma Statement. The improvement was quite startling. The Statements retained the natural sound, but sounded much more resolving & opening up a wide vista in the sound statge. They are special cables. Jorma said Statement single wires sound better than Prime Bi-wires.
Though even Jorma Unity sounds great at its price point. Unity is most reminscent of Prime in its sound signature (ie: sounds a touch warm & is harmonically rich, though not 'lush'). I use a Unity power cable with my Oppo player. But there are many other good cables. No doubt our resident loony Captain Cobalt will post how miraculous Tara Labs cables are, lol!
