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.

Knowitall10   You may not notice the difference in cables with a Triton one R tower due to their wild impedance response. Too much signal obscurity using coil speakers and passive crossovers.  Certainly no difference with anything higher than 3N purity unless you get your conductor configuration below 4 ohms.  Even then the difference is a long shot.  At this impedance and being unbalanced, there is no indication for shielding to lower noise.  As you know from your EE and cable background the entire scheme of signal transmission needs to be redeveloped, otherwise like many readers, a satisfactory end point is never reached.
