Budget re-cabling


I am considering re-cabling (changing out receiver, SACD player) on the main room system (5.1 and 2.1).

Front: B&W Nautilus 804 Center: B&W HTM61 S2 Rear: temporary Infinity Reference 2 or Dayton 2 way. 

HDMI Oppo 103 to Onkyo TX-RZ810: if critical at all, budget $30 or so?

Cables: new speaker for front/center. 10ft left/right each, 6 ft center (or 25 total). Budget $5-$6 per foot (may consider suggestions up to $10 there is something to gain).

I know this budget is mind bogglingly high (never spent that kind of money on cables, but want to go all out). 

So what are the best speaker cables for way below $10/ft? Good comparison tests (with price in mind)? Maybe comparison with 'DIY' or 'Repurposed' (using commercial cable repurposed for audio)? Links? Read ups? 

 

NOT INTERESTED IN PIXEL DUST and ESOTHERIC CABLES.

The Link is possibly one of the Best Value for Money Wires available.

The Wire is 1.0mm Solid PC triple C, this wire superseded my use of Mapleshade Clearview Double Helix @ 8ft Lengths.

It has also been used to produce Interconnects built to the Helix Configuration as seen in another Thread on the Cable Section of this forum.

I have a substantial stock of this wire imported from Japan, using the FromJapan  Portal.

Both audioquest and wireworld make cables at all prices. I find that even the cheaper options from wireworld are of a high quality.

I’ll third (or fourth, or whatever) the Mogami 3103.

No need to even spend $5 ft. when you can spend under $3. Get it cryoed and it's even better. 

Better than Kimber 8TC in my book (sold a bunch of it that I’d used for years after experimenting a bit with the Mogami), which retails at $45 ft.

@kraftwerkturbo for receiver, for sure!!! That is why I went with Canare 4S11. I use Audience AU24SX in my main system. 

Sidenote: how come that speaker cable cannot be found USED! Knowing that most have gone through various sets and that they don't wear, I am surpised to see few used offers for sale....
