Audio_girl, I also think it is a little difficult in absolute terms to define a set of recommended cables for a source component alone. Along with the rest of the system, your personal hearing and taste would have to be considered. Is the rest of your system the same as that posted? Is this where the 8001 is going? Those components seem to indicate a preference for speed, clarity, and musically rich playback, at least for jazz and blues. Of course, the preamp is one of the best (IMHO) in the mere mortal and human category.
Im general I can say a few things: the LAT International IC-100 MKII is pretty good and has tremendous bass performance (extended, defined), but may bring the lower treble up front a little, depending on the room/system. The Silver Streak should lend a smooth semi-warm and soft (though not lacking in detail) sound (at least the KCAG did in my sustem). Zu gede is another reasonably priced IC that may complement your system: at times it has been detailed, fast and almost neutral; perhaps spotlighting theupper mids a bit. I would not use it, however, if your system is having any tendancies to sound hard or bright.
