Need replacement for garden hose Audio Advisor

There is a lot of good info on this site....and good minds as well. So I would like to hear a few experiences any of you might have had.
I run a slighty Modified Audionics CC-2 driving a set of Pro Ac Tab/2's.
I love the speakers and the sound I have but am very tired of the garden hose Audio Advisor cables that connect them. I have had to resort to cable ties to keep the things on the stands. (Silly putty gives up after a while with a horizontal pull.)
This all.....kind of being driven by my wife crying out in disgust at the looks of the system.

I am very sensitive to the top end, and lean towards all the information being passed rather than the "smooth" rolled off character some folks seem to prefer.

Without getting into the "shun-mookie and tice clock" ozone layer, what have you folks found for manageable, quality seamless cable that is not the size of garden hose??

My wife would very much like the roll of Radio Shack 18 guage. Don't understand her issue though...... Doesn't everyone have a packed 7 foot metal studio rack in thier living room?

Thanks for the advice.
You really paid 600.00 for that stuff?
Oy Vey.
Looking for some used as we speak........

Dekay: Have you ever heard the guys equipment that sells that cable?
His CD transport looks interesting.
(Though I would be drawn and quartered before you would see me paying 1/4 of that for a transport....)
Just curious. The photos on his site (aren't those a set of (eck!) ginS speakers?) do not impress me much. Curious if anyone out there has heard the stuff on more than a set of home-made fostex based single driver speakers.....

Hmm, I did not realize I had "cracked" on fostex....
I merely was trying to get out the idea that all of the systems listed on his website seem to be of a single driver nature.
Actually, I have "set ears on them". I was not impressed. They certainly were nice in the mids, but that is all that was there.
I have a guess at your ears......45 plus years of age with decreasing high sensitivity. My hearing runs a bit higher than average, hence....I need some highs. (I like a little bass too......)
FYI, I heard the little fostex system on a Krell KSA??80 with no preamp at all and a very nice d/a with what I think was about an 800.00 pot for the volume control..... I would call that minimal signal path.
I know the amp and had heard the d/a on another system..it was anything but rolled off, yet the highs in those speakers were just not there.
What can I say? I like more than veggies on my plate.
(But I do love Vegans, they taste just like chicken when cooked to perfection.)

PS.... I dont have to duck and run... I am made of clay, remember ;)
Lighten up, dude.. s'all good. :)

TWL:Would love to see your design. TL's impress me. Want to make a set for my houseboat actually. Send me an email if you have the time.
Viggen: I know.....but they sounded good at the time and were cheap........
Besides, I can always use them as mooring lines when I buy the new cables :)
I sure wish someone was in CT/MA/RI so I could snag a set of these and hear them.......
