Almost anything will sound better than 20 year old Monster Cable. For what you are investing, Kimber Heroes(pre-owned) and 8TC would make you VERY happy. That's providing you are interested in transparency, and not a fuzzy/euphonic presentation.
"Budget" cable advice, please
Hi,
I'm piecing together the first refresh of my audio system in over 20 years! :-)
I've purchased a pair of Totem Arros and a Music Hall CD 25.2 CD player. I'll also be running a refurbished SOTA Sapphire and a PS Audio Elite Plus integrated amp. The only speaker cables I have right now are Monster Cable Powerline 2's that I used to bi-wire my old Vandersteen 2C's in the late 1980's.
I need best-bang-for-the-buck interconnect, power cord (for the CD) and speaker cable recommendations. I can't break the bank on cables, but want to get a marked improvement in the system.
Thanks for any and all suggestions!
