What next after Audience AU24 and Siltech G3?


I'm fairly satisfied with my current cables but was looking to change/upgrade. I'm looking for a little more detail and wider soudstage without brightness/harshness. Budget is around $400 (used) pair RCA and $800-900 (used) speaker cables.

System consists of:
Sonus Faber Cremona - Audience AU24 (non E) speaker cables 2M.
Pass Labs 250.5 - Siltech SQ28 G3 RCA
Thor Audio TA-1000
Lector CDP-7t - Audience AU24 (non E) RCA
Trigon Vanguard II - Siltech SQ28 G3 RCA
Nottingham Ace Space - stock RCA

Also have Crystal Cable Piccolo RCA. Nice cable but lacks the bass weight of the Audience.

Thanks

You know, if you like the Siltech G3 you could just ago on up the line depending on what's still around. i used the SQ88 for a long time....definitely got me started on alloys containing gold.
I am going to have to go with Philojet and the Gabriel Gold recommendation...I would keep an eye out for a used pair of Rev II's...or talk to Steve about the new entry level Radiance. You would get what you're looking for. I went down a long list of cables in that range and much higher and replaced them early on with Gabriel Gold Extreme's I still use the GG's....but now the Reflections. They are a whole different ball game and absolutely astounding, but beyond your range. Stretching as far as you can up the GG line for you IC's would be a good option.

That said, I yam what I yam and have had a lot of cables, and I thought the Analysis Plus Solo Crystal offers a lot of bang for the buck. Their Oval 9's are also good.....but best bang for buck went the Bear Labs Silver Thunder. And, if you can strecth a tiny bit, Stealth Hybrid MLT's are hard to beat at around 1k.

I have the GG's Rapture r and the sonic improvement over the non-revised version coupled with the Reflections just breathes life's musical essence into my intracellular spaces....happhappyjoyjoy.

Enjoy the tunes!
