Speaker Cables For $300
These sound better to me than a silver coated copper set.  Nordost Odin 2 speaker cables are a silver coated copper set. I wouldn't think they sound better than this.  Point is: no 2 sets of silver coated copper cables sound the same. Too many... 
Upgrade Interconnects/Cables or…?
Your system resembles mine in the fact that I also have 4 different interconnects  Have you played around with their placement in your system?  You don’t mention power cables, and in my experience these can have a greater effect than interconnect... 
Cardas vs Cardas vs Shunyata interconnects
......you can definitely find outstanding interconnects that outperform those overpriced interconnects from resellers. How hard is it for @classicrockfan to understand if this were true we all would be doing it.  Oh and I write posts on this ... 
Interconnects priority
(the new but not improved thumbs up, kind of looks like hitch hiking emoticon) Let us know the results of your experiments Perhaps you could let us know your answer to your question: insert one a time and determine which has the greatest impac... 
Interconnects priority
@soix  These @ links used to autofill and turn blue, but as of recently for some unknown reason that doesn’t happen anymore. It is a short term glitch I am told.   
Interconnects priority
My system only has one pair of interconnects.  I believe the simpler the system is, the better it sounds. @carlsbad (links don't seem to be working...) I would think if that were your philosophy, you would be considering the Grimm LS1 speakers... 
Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier
So observation is key and the more experienced and educated you are in it the greater will be your ability to observe and describe the effects on a system of different pieces of equipment. Wait, are you trying to say in order to hear the differ... 
Speaker Cables For $300
these are still here:  Satori shotgun    
Interconnects priority
Or, looking it from another practical budget perspective, if I have a total of of $1,000 to spend is it clear that I should spend $500 on each XLR pair, or should I “overweight” my spend on one set because it’s the more “important” interconnect f... 
Puritan vs Nordost Power Cable
Anyone else done any comparisons of a different power cord to their ultimate cord on the PSM156 ?  It is the only C19 cord I have, so hard to compare with others.   
What speaker cable for Martin Logan motion series (AMT) tweeter.
@bobrock  ^^^^ Yeah what @soix said above, when you said $1000 budget the first thing that popped into my mind was that is exactly how much Satori’s retail for. Grab a used double-set for the same price      
Tidal removing all MQA
Switched from Tidal to Qobuz long ago because I hated MQA so much. So: long overdue, IMO. @hickamore My exact sentiments exactly. I had to wait a while longer than most, as it took some time for Qobuz to open its doors in Canada but once they d... 
Update from Nordost Heimdall to Frey speaker cable
@mgrif  are you actually suggesting that there’s no difference (other than price) between any cables whatsoever? So, you can use the cheapest lamp cord (or even smaller gauge - no reason to waste copper) and you’re good to go for speaker cables?... 
Looking for a tube preamp that has xlr outputs.
@dlowman sorry about that, I own this one, (not my ad) and assumed the previous model had balanced as well. Read this just for knowledge even if it is out of your price range. Hell of a pre amp- weighs 53 lbs.  
Looking for a tube preamp that has xlr outputs.
@dlowman can you go up to $3000?    primaluna
