Clear Day Cables for the IC's. Great IC's for the money. I've not heard anything for the money anywhere close. Paul's Double Shotgun is the star of his line, and for the money a steal, but they might be pushing your budget. With smaller speakers the model down from there might be the best choice and less expensive. Kimber 4TC is always out there used and that would work fine as well, but nowhere near the Clear Days.
speaker and interconnects, how nice do I need
I am putting a system together, It is a NAD c356bee integrated amp, dynaudio x14 bookshelf speakers, and Marantz sa8005 cd player. I put this together used for 2000, so I don't really want to spend another 2000 on cables. What level of cables matches the level of components, I was hoping to stay under 200 for the pair of interconnects and speaker cables, so @ 100 each, is this possible. Is my system still on the economical side to the point that it does not matter much, or will I notice a big difference between cables.
