Speaker Cable Recomendations

what nature of sound are you looking for?

and why that price point?

decent cables are available for much less than your stated ’budget’, though many vendors here would love to relieve you of your money

start at any of the vendors below, buy their lower/midline, popular cables, spend the rest of money on music...

Maybe the first question is with regards to allocation of funds. How much for power vs analog interconnects vs digital interconnects vs speaker cable.

I put the most money into power and the least into speaker cables. My approach was simple, Shunyata for power and digital whereas I went with Audioquest for analog interconnects and speaker cable.  I used their top copper speaker cable.  The next step up was their silver speaker cables, but I didn’t have the budget to go silver.  So, clean power was the most important aspect of my system.

+1 @jjss49 This is critical info to have to make a targeted recommendation.  

Aside from PCs, I have found the cabling that makes the most difference in the system is the source interconnect. I just confirmed with my own experimentation. The theory is that anything lost from the source can't be gained further in the system. I would apply my budget in the reverse!
