Need CD interconnect advice.

I need to replace my .5 meter pair of Kimber Silver Streak cables with a longer 1-1.5 meter pair of cables. I'm wondering what are some of my best options for under $200 new or used? The cables will be connecting a Sony 777ES CD/DVD changer to an Arcam AVR300 receiver. I haven't used the Silver Streak in this setup because the cables I have are too short. Should I stick with a longer Silver Streak, go with PBJ or some other cable for my analog connection? I have a Kimber D-60 as my digital cable but need an analog connection as well for SACD listening. Thanks for any input.

I can only tell you what I have used and been very satisfied with, and that is Goertz Alpha-Core. I use them with my Sony DVP-S9000ES and have been extremely satisfied with them. They have bettered the Kimber wires I have owned and are also better than my Tara Labs Air 1 I/C's. Just my opinion, but that has been my experience. BTW, they will let you try them for 3 weeks, risk free.

Without going overboard on cost and considering your budget, I would buy the Micropurl I/C's. I own both versions and they are excellent. If this helps, I have found the silver sounds a little cleaner and more detailed in my system, and the copper has just a tiny bit of edge to it. And by the way, the Micropurl Copper I/C is the one that bettered my Tara Labs Air 1 I/C - not by much, but better just the same. Hope this helps.
