Looking for IC and speaker cable suggestion

My bug finally moves to cables. I have not upgraded my cables for over 5 yrs. I am using a pair of Audioquest Vipper between Oppo 105 and C-J 17LS2. The speaker cables between ARC VT100 and B&W 805s are hefty Monster M series (can't remember the number) that I bought over 10 yrs ago. All other cables are cheap less than $20. I am looking for upgrade to maximize the potential of my gears. Here is my list of components:

2 channel system: Table:VPI Aries I, Phono stage: Conrad Johnson Premier 15, Preamp: Conrad Johnson Premier 17LSII, Power amp: ARC VT100 MKI, Speaker: B&W 805S

HT: Source: Oppo 105, processor: Krell S-1000, Amp: Krell Showcase 7, Speaker: B&W 105S (F,C,R)

Thank you.

Been using Blue Jeans cable for IC and speaker for some time and am quite happy with what I'm hearing. As far as cost they were quite inexpensive but far better than my Transparent IC and Monster Speaker cable which BJ cable replaced. Currently seeking a cable upgrade myself and have some on order to audition. I'll post my opinion of them after break in and critical listening.

Very happy with Anti Cables for ICs and speakers. Priced appropriately too.

OP-
you can look into newer Audioquest or Transparent cabling to match your gear. Happy Listening!

I moved to Zu IC cables from Transparent and Audioquest. They sound very clean and don't cost too much- especially if you buy some of their older models on Ebay(direct from Zu).
I still use current model Transparent Plus for speaker cables. They sound much better than previous incarnations.
