How to allocate my cable dollars.


I have a Classe processor (SSP-800), McIntosh amps (501), and B&W speakers (802). I've been talking to my hi-end audio store about upgrading cables. My current cables are rather inexpensive generic cables. How do I allocate my dollars between, interconnects, power cables, speaker wire, and HDMI cables? On which cables should I spend the most and where the least? Where does higher dollars spent result in the most bang for the buck?

I'll suggest keeping the generic HDMI for now. You'll find that most of the expensive HDMI's don't really change that much.

What options does your dealer offer, and what's your budget? I generally feel a system with good interconnects and power but generic speaker cables sounds better than good speaker cable with generic cable throughout the rest. You might also want to consider putting a large chunk of your budget on power filtration if you haven't already.
