Speaker Cable for Vandy 3A Sigs - Suggestions
I own Vandy 5's and double run Pure Note Epsilon speaker cables. They will terminate the cables with spades to fit the barrier strips. Do a search, other folks seem to like them. 
Power Cable for Wadia 860X
If you want a great power cord that is better than PS Audio (IMO), try the Pure Note Sigma. Only $150 for a 1m pure silver cord with Wattgate connectors. 
Intercon for Nakamichi CD
The Audiorevelation I should be a good choice.If you can afford them, the II ($335/ 1m pair) will bring the very best in your unit. Cryo treated, OFC silver plated copper brings extended upper and lower frequencies w/out glare. That is, after a go... 
Looking for warmth,openess, detail
Pure Note will do that at a fraction of the cost, www.purenote.com. Do a search to see other comments on Pure Note. 
Pure Note cables and some comments.
I second the vote for Pure Note. You can check the threads here for my comments.I also own the Epsilon Reference speaker cables. They are on-par with interconnects. Best soundstage I have yet to hear. 
Spades or bananas
With WBT I have found NO audible difference. 
is Blue Heaven OK with Magnepan and Rogue?
Many of my "Maggie" friends like Pure Note cables. The are very liquid yet detailed (not bright). They are also priced fairly www.purenote.com. 
What exactly do ya do about a 15 foot run ?
Just run a long power cord. Should be the best, easiest, and cheapest alternative. 
Help with IC and Speaker cables
Teh Siltech's are the best IMO for the last word in resolution. A cheaper and almost as good alternative is the Pure Note Epsilon Reference www.purenote.com. Check the archives here for other opinions. 
Any word on Discovery cable?
I have known Joe DePhillips for many years. A great guy and has some good products. I am not familar with his top line, however. http://www.discoverycable.com. Very solid, been in the business for many years. 
Valhalla or SPM speaker cable ??
I have been there, done that. The Valhalla is clearly superior to the SPM. The SPM was lackluster in my system.I now have the Transparent Opus which blows away the Valhalla BUT the low cost Pure Note Reference competes well with both the Valhalla ... 
Power cords
The general consensus is that power cords do make a difference (I have been convinced many times over). You may have several feet of Romex in series but...The same can be said about the cheap appliance wire used in speakers and we all know that sp... 
Interconnects: Silver, Copper or Silver Plated?
My .02: Pure Note (www.purenote.com) uses silver cladded copper in their new Epsilon Reference cables. They originally used pure silver. I own both i/c and the new copper/silver has less HF ringing and no edge. The trend seems to be going away fro... 
Transparent VS Pure Note IC
I currently own Siltech and Pure Note. Rmml is correct that the old Pure Note Epsilon can be tad bright (depending on components). However the new Pure Note Espilon Reference is very smooth in the highs besting my Siltech Compass Lake. 
The best cable for my system Interconnect and SPKR
Another company is Pure Note. Lots of folks on the "Asylum" endorse these, replacing Nordost Valhalla and Siltech Compass Lake. The i/c's are under $1000 and extremely well made. If you are looking for musical purity these are the hot ticket.
