Recommendation for new cables

Hi everyone. I'm planning to recable my system which is currently composed as follows: ARC Ref 3 (preamp), ARC Ref 110 (amp), dCS Bartok (DAC/streamer) + dCS Rossini (external clock), Accuphase dp67 (cd transport only), Wilson Sophia 2 (speakers) and Roon Nucleus.

Ideally, I'd like to use only one brand to have synergy across the system and I'm not planning to spend crazy money.

I've been recommended to go for Transparent Audio Ultra but would love to see other potential options.

What would you recommend based on my system? Also, where would you start from?

Thanks in advance.

+1, rdk777.
I can’t recommend The Cable Company based on my experience....their customer service is not what it used to be. Unless you’re ready to drop 6 figures on cables, you will be forever in the ‘queue’ for cable trial. I waited over 2 months for USB cable trial and the excuse I got from Peter, “sorry we forgot about you”.

“Your desire for only one brand to have synergy across the system is unlikely to provide that to your quality components”

@lemonhaze,

I beg to differ at least in case of analog cables. Digital cables are all together different animal and require some tinkering. I do not believe in cables with ‘gimmicks’ and after hearing all analog OCC copper cables from Audio Envy, I can say unequivocally that cables can be as transparent as ‘water’ thus devoid of any house sound. The synergy in my system is simply off the charts between AE power, speaker and IC’s :-)
AE uses OCC copper in their PC, Speaker and IC’s.
