Need help buying new speaker cable

My Tara Labs Apollo speaker cable broke at the negative terminal end.  I will need to replace them.  What cables would you recommend?  I would like to know what cables out there would be comparable.  I would like to upgrade but they need to be affordable. A local dealer recommended Audioquest Robin Hood’s but they cost $2,000.  I just can’t spend that much money.  I am looking at Audioquest Rocket 88’s for $1,150.  Any ideas?  I would also like to know what the sound difference be compared to my Appolo’s?  I still have a difficult time you can hear a sound difference between one cable and another.

Larry, Borrow some cables from your dealer at your price range. See what YOU hear. Different cables act different in different systems. Some cabes sound more or less the same and some sound very diferent in each system.

I once had a system that Anti-cables worked great on. Changed out speakers and the Anti-cables sucked. Getting ideas is great, but you have to live with the cables.

Dont fall for the wire is wire trap. I like a more organic sound in my system, but sometimes I want a little Hi-Fi Sound for a change of pace. I just change my wire.
