Need cable advice


Ok, I have moved my system and now need longer (10 ft.) speaker cables. I am mainly a 2 channel analog guy.....2 channel rig on one side of cabinet and AVR stuff on the other. Using theater BP on my Cary integrated amp. My equipment is as follows - Cary CAI-1 integrated amp, Rogue Audio Stealth phono section, Esoteric DV-50 cdp, Thorens td-160 / SME3009/S2IMP, JM Lab Electra 926 speakers. I listen to mainly jazz, alternative and classic rock. Have been using $300-$400 cables and have been satisfied with sound but have been out of the audio loop for a long time now so don't know if i'm missing out on anything. Don't mind buying used and don't want to spend more than $500.00. I should'nt have to spend more than this in order to extract quality sound. There's a lot of snake oil out there. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I bought the anti cables but don't care for them. If you need your treble tamed they would be good. I compared them to one meter lengths of Siltech Ribbon and Van den Hul Revelation Hybrid using long interconnects from my preamp and the result led me to buy some used Cardas for more money than I ever believed I'd spend on a peace of wire. I can't use short wires on my M3 so I couldn't use the short ones I had. I will grant you that the price differential is huge but anti cable claim to be competitive with the best. But if they have a money back guarantee what can you lose? Mine are going one way or another.
