SF Line 3-- Parasound JC-1-- Thiel 7.2 Cables ?

I would be interested in hearing any opinions of very good cables that I should consider for connecting my
Wadia 861
Sonic Frontiers LINE 3
Parasound HALO JC-1
Thiel 7.2
I'm currently using TARA Master Gen 2.
I've made some upgrades and now it's time to consider cables. The sound is now pretty neutral, if anything Solid State/Thiels could be a touch warmer, but I like detail.
Realistically, I'd probably be buying anything Used.

I've owned a lot of thiels, they like MIT cabling. With those mamba's I'd probably look to the oracle line making sure you match the impedence.

I think I'd change the amp too, those puppies deserve better and more wattage, you might consider a big pair of mono-blocks like Classe 350's or Theta Citadels.

With these changes you'll get what you paid for in these speakers

Audience Au24s for the whole signal path:
Wadia Au24 AES Digital->SFL3 Au24 AES balanced->JC-1s->Au24 speaker cables->7.2s, and you will have a warm musicial sounding system and can forget about cabling.
Audience power cords would be a nice added touch if your budget could handle it.

The Parasound HALO JC-1 are pretty beefy mono amps, comparable to the Classe in power; I think the sound is pretty good, although I'm comparing it to my old underpowered VTL MB-250s.

MIT Oracles are awfully expensive, are there other models or makes that could get me almost there? I still wonder about the network cable concept.

I hadn't heard much on Au24 until recently, any ideas how it would compare to my current TARAs?
