I urge you to try HomeGrownAudio's "Silver Lace" interconnect. It's made of 8 strands of braided, 26 gauge, solid core wire (similar to Kimber), and you can get a 1 meter length for as little as $140 in kit form (do the soldering yourself) or $180 assembled. I have two pair of the "Silver Lace" interconnects and think they are the best buy on the market.
