IMO, you should consider dumping the old Monster Cable speaker cable and get something that is newer and not oxidized. Old Monster Cable is very dark and cloudy sounding.
Looking for suggestions on reasonable upgrades
I'm going to lay out my system and perhaps some of you can offer suggestions for upgrades, without major changes and $.
Amp-Moscode 600 (no mods), preamp-Rogue 66, speakers-Thiel 3.0a's, cd player-CAL Icon, turntable-Luxman PD 441 w/Denon 202? arm and Grado XT 1 (blue stylus) cart, speaker cable-old Monster Cable, interconnects are mostly what stores have on hand (very basic). So, there it is. Any suggestions? I listen to all kinds of music except heavy rap and metal. Lots of Rock, Jazz.
