recommended speaker cables and interconnects


trying to upgrade step by step my stereo system, after not dealing with it for awhile.
right now have 3 kinds of speaker cables.
old audio quest , and an old monster cables.
a bit newer Kimber cable that are too short for my current configuration.
for interconnects, one pair of MIT mi-330
and one pair of Audioquest Ruby 2.
looking to upgrade for moderate price.
can’t give a budget range cause i am not familiar with the prices .

Look at materials and construction style.  +Zanfino.  Wireworld describes each series very well to see this.  Educational.  Usually, OCC $$$ better than OFC $$.  Teflon/PTFE and cotton better than PVC for lead insulation.  Connectors matter too.  Or, if you're handy, save money, or want satisfaction, go DIY.  It's not really hard.  Can avoid soldering with clamp/screw style connectors or not.  Start with speakers.   Then do ICs.  Source materials via  internet like Soniccraft or Parts Connexion.  Look here to learn/see one plan  http://www.image99.net/blog/files/category-002ahelix-image-speaker-cable.html.  I did these first attempt.  Extremely happy.  Saved $$$.
