Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money


I currently have a system which consists of Vandersteen 5A's, THor Audio TP-150 tubed monoblocks, Thor Line Stage and Thor phono stage, Marantz SACD player SA-114 and will take delivery of the VPI Prime Scout with a Sumiko EVOS 3 Cartridge. I am currently using LAT International Speaker Cables, Power Cords and Interconnects. (They are no longer in business). I am in immediate  need of turntable cables and would like to update my new speaker cables and interconnects. Not willing to spend thousands on this upgrade. Seeking to capture as much of the "magic" that the super expensive cables deliver but at a more realistic price point. I understand that I have really good quality equipment, but at this stage of my life cannot allocate mega dollars towards cables.
 Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You should check out Triode Wire Labs. I've replaced expensive cables with the Spirit II interconnect and American Speaker Cable and I plan to add more. Very smoothed, yet detailed and open sounding midrange with just the right amount of density. These are not veiled or sluggish, nor are they lean or bright sounding.


 You know what they say, a fool and his money… 

 And regarding my outdated dogma, I didn't know the laws of electricity changed to stay fashionable 🙄

Some of you should spend a little bit of time studying electrical theory and how these devices work. Then you would realize how silly your faith based claims really are!

 You might as will believe in the tooth fairy! 
"Faith based claims." You are a troll. We don’t use faith based claims, we use our hearing capacity which is more acute than measuring devices (they miss the differences when two identically measured amplifiers sound totally different and electrical measurements/theory can’t explain why).

 And why stop at the receptacle in the wall? You have such a golden ear you can probably hear the difference between coal generated electricity and hydroelectricity! You should move to Niagara Falls so you can get that nice clean pure hydroelectricity!! The music will sound much more natural and flow better.  Especially Handel. 
Then there is wind generator power… It would sound nice and light and lively and airy!

And I don't understand folks reaction when you're telling them they're getting ripped off when they're buying thousand dollar power cords.   Instead of looking into it and learning so they can ensure it doesn't happen more than once, they just get angry with you. I used to be one of you. I used to buy audio file fuses and power cords  and convince myself thing sounded much better when I use them. Then I started wondering if there was something to what other people were saying, that it was all nonsense. I started learning more about how things work and asking  people much more knowledgable than I. What I found was that inevitably very intelligent people who built this stuff and know how electricity worked pretty much all thought it was nonsense. 
@fleschler  hate to break it to you man but electrical theory can explain why.  And you're not Superman, you're hearing is not more acute than measurement devices.
