Interconnects for Conrad Johnson amp/pre?


I need to upgrade my interconnects, and then my speaker cables. Or, vice versa.
System:

Conrad Johnson PV11
Conrad Johnson 2300
Rega Planet
PSB Golds

Currently using Kimber Kable PBJ interconnects and bi-wired VS speaker cables.

I'm on a limited budget so will purchase used cables. Perhaps $150 for each 0.5m interconnect and approx. $300 on (max) 2m speaker cables.

What is advised and why?

I have had the C-J PV11 till about a year ago, now have the Premier 16, I found that Nordost Red Dawn worked really well, it was quick, open and cooled down some of the warmth which I like. they go for about 180-200 on Agon, so a bit higher than you suggested, but they worked for me really well. I went from Monster 1000 to Nordost SPM on speaker cable so can not help you there.
What I like about the Nordost is it took just a bit of the bloom out, without losing any of the detail in my system, B&W 804 speakers, at the time I have a C-J MV52. Hope this helps Michael
