Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money

I myself use MG Audio Design top end interconnects.  I first learned about them from a review that the late Arnie Nudell wrote in which he mentioned that he himself used them.  Later I learned that Paul McGowan of PS Audio himself uses them.  At first when I learned that their top end interconnects went for $1600 for a one meter pair, they were still too expensive.  But when I learned that you could purchase a half meter pair for $900, was finlly obtain them.  I am unable to compare them to the really expensive stuff out there, but they are far superior to my pair of Audience au24se's.  The Audience pair is their previous top end model.  Anyway I doubt that there is anything out there that can compare for the price.  Suposidly some members of the Colorado Audio Society also like them.  Just ask Paul McGowan for his opinion.

kjl1065,

So you are reading many posts saying, "I like this cable, and I will
tell you why."

How is this information helping you?  Will you audition
all 15+ suggestions?  Flip a coin?  Or will you "fall into"
something and put it in your system?

Why not optimize (previous posts, sgordon1 and geoffkait) 
the cables that you have already paid for, and then you can evaluate whether you have achieved your goals, or at least have come closer
to them?

One thing becomes clear reading this thread...Everyone has their own favorite cable, and they recommend it wholeheartedly. It kind of helps one realize cables are a kind of doppelganger of People. takes all kinds..                   
One other (random) thing I would say is KCAG, once a pride of Kimber is totally outdated. I sold off any I had ten years ago. Plenty of mid priced cables kill KCAG. Someone several posts prior mentioned they got some KCAG and were wowed... yeah how long ago, twenty years? Twenty five? thirty?             
Another way to see what cables have the 'it' power, to be worth keeping. If not, they end up for sale. So if you read the for sale ads for cables. all those odd names... One person companies making 'giant killer' IC. If they are so giant, why would anyone sell them? OR are they the 'flavor of the month' and get bought and sold by the folks craving a new fix. Just a few thoughts.

I've used signal cable with good success.

@elizabeth ...I`d be interested in knowing what cables you use now.

I have a pair of .5 Meter KCAG that I now use between my Tortuga Premp and Herron phono stage and it was a step up from the Silver Streaks that I had been using for the last couple years.
