How much money for your next interconnect cable???

I believe there were time people just looked at you and shout " you are crazy" when they heard how much money you have to paid for your interconnect cables. Even more so if they found out how much money we reselled them on audiogon after a short period of time (same thing happen to our audio component). And it will freak them out if they know again how much money for your next purchases. I know we just laugh and ignored their disbelieve. Anyways, do you plant to buy your new interconnect cables? If so, what is your budget and how do you gain your wife or significant patner acceptance!??!?!!!

Please include brands, models and why do you think this/these cable/s will improve your system.

My system include: Krell KRC-3, Krell kav-1500, krell FPB-200, CJ DR-1, CJ premier-11, Bench Mark DAC-1, Classe SSP-60, Sony DVD 9000ES, VPI scout Sig, Theil 3.6, Triangle Tratos Luna, Definitive Tech Ref, PS power plant-600, Shunyata Hydra 4, Monster HTS-5000s, Kimber Hero cables, Nordost Heimdall, Nordost Blue haven, Tranparent Ultra XL cables, Mit Shotgun cables, PS audio-Extream power cords.

Right now my threshold of pain/sanity is $400/m pair for Slinkylinks silver XLR. My other purchase was the RS Silver cable 2m which I got for about $200/pair.

How to convince the wife, I don't tell her, just say "Listen honey, it sounds better now". LOL.

"Anyone using ICs from JPS Labs? Have a Superconductor FX between TT & Amp. Have 2 pair of Ultraconductors between CDP/Tube Buffer/Amp and would like to upgrade. The Super is better than the Ultra. I've got a very modest budget...so the $348 x 2 for new 0.5 M Superconductor Qs (Q has replaced the FX) is a stretch. I realize by comparison to some of the ICs owned by A'gon members this is a pitifully small amount - none the less any suggestions about bargain/hi value brands? Used is OK. Imaging, Soundstage (with & depth), Netrality and Transparency (help the speakers dissappear)are the things I'd be looking for (if I'm not re-stating the obvious). Thanks."

I moved from the FX to Slinkylinks and never looked back. They shouldn't be too expensive and so far I've not come across any cable, including most costly ones, which would entice me to change.
