Element vs. Signal vs. ???

For no reason other than experimentation and the need for bi-wired cables to replace cheap stock jumper plates, I want to change my speaker cables and interconnects. My system is:

Von Schweikert VR-2s
Roksan Kandy KC 1 CD Player
Blue Circle CS Integrated
12ft Straightwire Stage Speaker Cable
3ft Mas Grey Silver Interconnects

I have seen very good reviews for Signal cable, anti-cables (P. Speltz) and more recently Element cables. I'm willing to spend up to $400 for the Speaker cables and $150 for interconnects. Any recommendations? Should I go with silver throughout? VS recommend silver speaker cables, but I'd like to know your recommendations or experiences with similar budgets and equipment as mine.

Thanks for your help,
bluecirclehead

Signal cable silver resolution has done wonders for my system - I heartily recommend them to anyone using a SS system -I also replaced much higher-priced cabling with these and will not be changing these for others...PS Their customer service is outstanding - Talk to Frank(at signal cable) and he will help answer all your questions

BC- Please talk with Frank at Signal cable -he will happily answer all of your questions -You can choose either configuration on your bi-wiring -I would replace powercords if your cdp has a cheap cord- I dont know about element (Ive heard theyre good) but I do know (as well as hundreds of people here on the gon) that the Signal Silver Resolution line is about as good a value as you can get-They really sound excellent - borrow a high priced IC from a friend and do a comparison between the two -chances are you would unload the high-priced model and put the savings where it can be heard - such as better equipment-MHO
