You should be able to find a good used pair of AQ Cheetahs for less than $500. For your application, I think a silver cable will be a better choice. No reason to spend more. I use the same cables on some very expensive equipment and have no desire to upgrade.

" Go to musicdirect.com   They have Audioquest Colorado at 60% off!  My entire system is wired with AQ Colorado.  Clear, clean sound!  Go for it."

Those are very good cables, as well. I have a couple pairs myself. In this case, I would still recommend the silver, unless you plan on moving the cables around. AQ copper IC's always sound good no matter where you put them. Silver, on the other hand, will either sound better or worse than copper in the same application, so you need to be careful. 


 

" In my system the Audioquest Cheetah works best between CDP and preamp."

Same here. I can't get the silver to sound good between an amp and preamp. It always sounds like the highs are detached, or separated from the rest of the music. I have to use a copper cable.
