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.

There is a lot of good product on the market, and a lot of not-so-good product as well.  How does one choose?

The recommendations here can lead you to becoming dizzy.  Nobody means harm, it's just that there are so many choices.

If it's a one-brand way that you wish to do your system than I wholeheartedly can recommend Audioquest.  That's what I did and couldn't be more happy.  Go to their website and look at the left side column for categories.  Near the bottom you will find a PDF for the 2020 Retail Price Book (unless they have already replaced it with the 2021 edition).  The first pages tell a great story about their design philosophy and offers quite an education on metals, extrusion, and other materials that make up their cables.  Each product category also has a nice story about the respective products and models.  Even if you choose a different brand, you will have learned quite a lot from reading the Audioquest information.

Best to you, I hope that you land on products that are satisfying to your needs.
