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.
F.

Try looking into Morrow Audio and see whether their cables are a good candidate.

I can’t recommend buying cables based on Forum recommendations.  These guys are all trying to be helpful, but everyone’s system is nearly unique and cables will interact almost uniquely with everything you’ve got.

If you’re not near a dealer that will let you try them, go to The Cable Company, or someone like them, who will let you try cables in your system until you find some you like.

I bought some Audio Envy based on comments here, just out of curiosity (I couldn’t find anyone who let you try them) and although they are very good for the price, my 25 year old Gryphon cables beat them soundly.  You got expensive gear, I’d shoot for something better.

Ramble through the cable mire for years if you wish....or just get the MIT REV’s and enter Nirvana!  FYI...30 day trial with shipping covered both ways!
