what cable should I buy for my system?

Elements of my system:

 

Source Esoteric K05X

Rotel Michi m8 monoblocks

B&w 802d3 speakers

 

With a simple high-quality copper cable, the sound is currently neutral, forward, with an unfavorable wind, but mainly with depth and short decays. It’s dynamic, fast, tight, but it lacks sophistication, especially the ideal space mapping and the long, delicate decay of the sounds. I would think about used cables.. Budgeting is obviously important, but I haven’t done it yet, first of all I would be interested in your opinions on which cable brings what and in what price-value ratio.

Thank you very much for your help.

Back to your original question, I have had good luck with both WireWorld and Acoustic Zen cables. They both use OCC copper and in every case, excepting power cables, they have made a positive difference when introduced to my system. I have yet to delve seriously into power cables, hence the comment.

And yes, you should consider a separate preamp now, and some digital separates down the road.

I forgot to add, there is a strong used market for both of these brands, you can save a lot going used.
