transparent reference-MM2 (just below opus), calibrated for your preamp's output impedence and your amp's input impedence. do NOT get OPUS- in my opinion they're only slightly better.
i was really surprised by the degree of improvement i heard over transparent reference (w/xl technology, no "MM"). i am the last person to promote cables as i assume they are basically a rip-off to begin with. plus i usually don't "hear" (or perhaps it's "appreciate") subtle differences between component A and component B. but if there's a remarkable difference that makes virtually every piece of music i put on more enjoyable, i am happy to tell other people about it.
i got them thru the trsp. upgrade "program" so i saved some money, got brand new cables, and supported my local dealer all at the same time. but even then, they were still ridiculously expensive. oh, that's right, now i have to upgrade again from MM-1 to MM-2 tech...
