Totem doesn't claim that their cables are the best to use with their products, and will gladly discuss upgrade options with you. They recommended Harmonic to me as a brand they've had a lot of success with.
I used Sinew in my system for quite a while, occasionally swapping them out for Acoustic Zen, Audioquest, Anti-Cables, 47 labs, and a few others. I didn't think that the minor sonic upgrades from these were worth the price until I tried Cardas Golden Reference. I'm now using Crystal Standard with my Mani-2's and am very happy with that combination.
Totem's cables are great mid-range offerings that are priced very attractively for what they do.
