2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy

Looking for experiences and recs for current mid to upper mid level cabling solutions

I’m talking about ICs and Speaker cables that do not require plans for high jacking an armored car with a couple gallons of chloroform and a helicopter with a really big magnet?

Neither is it a matter of seeking out an ‘all system’ same brand and model loom, though it could be.

In Your opinion and or experience which signal cables (or mix of) have proven themselves recently to enable a revealing system to maintain or demonstrate its integrity, truth and musicality on its best level?

Or, in other words, With which current line of wires or ‘cables’ would you feel very confident using to connect your upscale stereo outfit in 2017?

New, or pre-owned?

… and why, please?
Thanks so very much. j

Knownothing, I suspect the two Duelund runs would sound just fine.  I bi-wire with two runs of WE10ga wire and it sounds great to me.

Wywires cables - their Platinum series is the best bang for the buck in their line.  Find some used cables which can often be had for about 50% off retail and performance vs. value will go a lot further.

I'd go for the Cerious Technology Graphene Extreme SCs, Teo GC ICs on both the CD and Phono, and JW Reference ICs on the preamp to amp.  The JW's give the initial impact with no harshness.  Using 2 sets of Teo's in line on the CD or Phono was too smooth.  The CTGE give bass grunt, dynamics, and very good clarity on all sounds.  The result is very real sounding.

I have VMPS RM40 BCSE ribbon speakers that are very revealing and dynamic.  This combination of wires replaced my previous ones of Darwin and Amadi silver wires.  Those were both very detailed and transparent, but I finally figured out that my system needed a more organic sound with fuller bass.

I'm now officially off the hunt for better wires and more synergy in my system.

I've gotta agree with the Wolf's suggestion on Morrow.  They preserve the music without the glare and sometimes harshness of stranded wire.  I'm currently waiting on a couple more pairs I've ordered.
