Shunyata cables vs Nordost Frey


I would like your opinion on both of these cables.
My system is all Ayre:
Ayre CX-7e cd player
Ayre K-5xe preamplifier
Ayre V-5xe power amp
JM Lab Utopia Diva BE speakers

Need to decide with which one to go:
Interconnect: Shunyata Altair or Aries vs Nordost Frey
Speaker cable: Shunyata Andromeda vs Nordost Frey

Any input is welcome

Thank you
utopia

Cables are so different that you really do need to listen to them before you buy. You might be very surprised at what you like and don't like about certain cables. It also
seems to take a lot longer than you think to come to any real conclusion (ie. thoughtful)about the merits of one cable over another IN YOUR SYSTEM. There is simply no shortcut to achieving what you hope to with other peoples recomendations. Find a dealer, ask for a weekend trial, and get ready for some long and thoughtful evaluation, then buy em.
Shortcuts just make the journey longer and longer with no REAL benchmark for you to sink your teeth into and ultimately end up in confusion and going in circles instead of forward.
