Looking for speedy kable to hasten set-up
Take a look at Pure Note: www.purenote.com. They are plenty "fast" for my Martin Logans. 
Best IC with SS system.
I own ML Requests and Krell electronics. As many know this is hard to get right in the highs and cables are critical. I finally settled on the Pure Note brand. They are the smoothest (and most revealing) cables I have yet to hear. 
Which speaker cables???
Try Pure Note www.purenote.com. They are very neutral in my system (ML Requests and Krell). FWIW. 
A search for great cables for electrostatics
I own ML Requests and Krell electronics. As many know this is hard to get right in the highs and cables are critical. I finally settled on the Pure Note brand. They are the smoothest (and most revealing) cables I have yet to hear. The XLR's are on... 
What Ever Happened to ST Optical?
A good telecommunications patch cord will work fine (about $20), www.milestek.com. A metal bayonet plug with 62.5u multi-mode cable. 
Decent CD Players
For $350 on the used market consider a Sony DVPS-7700. This was a great DVD/CD player. It has digital out but only at 44k. If bested many so-called high end combos I have tried.

Cable Fetish: Exotic, Warm and Romantic
Yes, I agree Cardas for warmth especially Golden Cross. 
What matches or betters Transparent Ref w/ xl ?
I also own Krell equipment and have auditioned the Transparent XL in the past. A better cable IMO is the Pure Note Epsilon Reference. With Krell gear it is much more real and musical. See if you can find used Pure Note Epsilon cables (I have seen ... 
Speaker Cable Too Short What to do?
Sorry to hear this but do not splice. Perhaps you can exchange them for a longer pair. Contact MIT if the dealer won't budge. Good luck. 
Are silver cables on the way out?
Seems like there is a trend in this direction. I recently spoke with the chief engineer a Pure Note audio cables as to why they went from pure silver to their new bonded silver/copper. Basically he told me that no matter how well you make the silv... 
Interconnects recommendation for passive preamp?
I own a Placette passive. Take a look at Pure Note. All specs listed. Only 10 pf per .5m! http://www.purenote.com. 
cable cooker, do they work?
The AudioDharma and Nordost cookers are serious devices and work. Several cable mfgs. and dealers use them. You need the higher voltage and current to break-in interconnects> This can never be achieved at the system level (microamps). I borrowe... 
Which cables and ic's would you choose?
I have tried some of the cables mentioned with mixed results. My current brand is Pure Note. Love the interconnects and am expecting the speaker cables tomorrow. http://www.purenote.com. My system is below for your reference.-Martin Logan ReQuests...
