Cables for Conrad Johnson and Proac D25 system


Hello, everyone
I am looking for your recommendations on speaker cables and IC's for the following system:
1. Conrad Johnson CA-200
2. Musical Fidelity CD 308
3. Proac D25 speakers

Currently using QED siver anniversary bi-wire and Alpha Core IC's. The music I listen to is 95% instrumental. Primarily ethnic percussion driven type (indian raga's and Middle Eastern), big orchestra, lots of electronic ambient, some classic jazz. I can't detect anything wrong with the current cabling, except that my concern is that the current cables (being clearly mid-fi) are limiting the potential of my components.
Thanks!

Have you upgraded the power cords of you components first on the cdp and ca? What is the budget on cables if so?
Alextychkin, Unless your speakers have to be bi-wire my experience is you don't really gain a lot there from just a good speaker cable. That being said, I highly reccomend you get power cords first accross the board. You really need to audition them to make sure you like it. I auditioned several and found some to be nice and warm when plugged into certain components and found them fine in another. I found one line which was good all around though expensive I'm buying all shunyata. It is very warm and natrural and really seems to bring out the best in the cj gear I have. I found several other power cords not much less in price to be to dynamic quick and in my face which just made me want to turn the volume down. So depending on your taste you will do much more improvement on cords first then interconnects and speaker cable. I've actually auditioned all in the past week and its been fun becoming a believer in cords, never thought of it before I got this same advice recently. Trust me you haven't heard the cj or musical fidelity until you match them with a better power cord. Hope you have a dealer who will give you some stuff to try. let me know.
good luck
