For speaker cables, I have used Signal Cable and Kimber 4VS cables with good results. For IC cables to connect CD players with preamps, and preamps with power amps, I have been more than satisfied with the MAS Gray IC cables that I bought from Stu Wein of Audioparts. They made a clearly audible improvement compared with the stock cables they replaced. I do not have extensive experience using multiple brands of cables, but these have worked well for me.
Budget Best: MAS , Reality, Element, LAT, PNF?
From your experience can anyone recommend these cables (or other quality budget cables) to compete with the better more expensive cables. It's not that I mind spending money on quality cables, but unfortunately I've decided to finally go to biwire and need 17 foot runs. I refuse to pay $1,500-$3,000 for AZ, Synergistic, MIT etc. I want a neutral sounding cable that has exellent extension High low and mids. I'm looking for quality top to bottom performance. I'll be replacing Speltz single wire runs. These speaker cables are for full range speakers with powered 1000 watt subwoofers and 1000 watt power handling capability so they need to be able to deliver current.
