Karmapolice,
If you want to go the PAD route, you might try a set of PAD Venusta speaker cables. Two years ago, I tested them against the Au 24 and preferred them in my system: Granite 657 tube CDP, Supratek Syrah, Spectron Musician II (now III) and Van Schwiekert VR5-HSE. I still use and enjoy them. The difference wasn't huge (the AU24 is great cabling), but was noticable, and the Venustas are far cheaper than the Dominus.
