I need help choosing interconnects/wires

I have a CJ Sonograph CD player, a CJ PV-8 preamp, Golden Tube Audio SE-40 amp on the top end, and a Pioneer Spec 4 anp on the low end. I'm driving a pair of Snell A-3's. I am looking for help choosing interconnects and speaker wires. I want to go with used to keep costs down but don't know where to start. I have just put this system together and am using Geortz and Monster interconnects and straight wire speaker wire borrowed from a friend for now.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Rick

ANALYSIS PLUS.great performing cable with both solid state or tubes.i've been down the high end cable road,98% of the
highend cable manufacturers are full of sh--,save yourself a lot of money and dissapointment,buy used cable,if you dont't
like it you could sell it and not loose your shirt.let your ears be the judge.good luck.

I will 3rd Homegrown Audio and 2nd Mapleshade and both have a 30 day return policy. I use both in my system (Homegrown analog and Mapleshade digital IC's) and they have worked well with SS and tube amplification. The Mapleshades are very fragile due to the nature of their design (so just don't jerk them around) and the Homegrown's are at least the build quality of similar Kimbers. I have zero complaints in regard to build quality and they both sound balanced, detailed and above all musical in my sytem.

Try Acoustic Zen Silver Matrix. Incredible soundstage and detail.

Excellent build quality and though not cheap, way less expensive than comparable ICs from Kimber, Nordost et al. Do let them burn in for a LONG time. Cable is sytem dependent, but you have some nice stuff - DO NOT buy cheap cable or you will never hear what your gear is capable of. I have had the Coincident with C-J gear, nice match. E-mail me if you would like a connection to purchase at discount.

I would like to thank you all for your help and suggestions. I can see that I have a long road ahead of me trying different cables to find out which works best in my system but now at least I know which direction to take. Again, Thank You.
