Changing internal cabling, anyone use Jantzen solid conductor?

I have a pair of Mirage M1 speakers and I'm replacing the internal cabling. The existing cables, I can see, are oxidized and over 20 years old. Cable technology has come a ways since then. So I decided to go ahead and replace them.  I saw these jantzen cables, wonder if anyone has used them and what's the result.

Years ago I used dh labs t14 for internal cabling and it was detailed and fast and I liked it. But I need around 45 feet. And dh labs has gone up in price since I used it years ago. So I'm looking for a more cost effective method which will still lend excellent results, assuming there is such a cable.

Again thanks to all who respond to my posts your information has been sincerely appreciated.

For internal speaker wires and external speakers cables I’ve used Rio Grande dead soft .999 silver foil inside McMaster Carr polyolefin heat shrink tubes. This compares well with Duelund silver foil in silk wrap at reduced cost. For long runs you can double or triple up.

Of course with Rio Grande you're getting .999 solid silver-- a much more expensive metal than copper-- and at commodity market pricing, without the premiums applying to audio marketing.
