I find cables so difficult for myself nevermind advising someone else. I will repeat what wiser heads have said before, there are no best cable rcommendations, because cables are so system dependent. Even Roy Gregory of the mag HiFi+ who is a Nordost Valhalla fanatic, occasionally admits other makers are better for some gear. In my system, I find Acoustic Zen is best, but I would'nt recommend it for another system, withoot audition. May I suggest the cable company www.fatwyre.com, they have wide experience of matching cable to kit and of course, a large stock of 2nd hand cable they will send abroad.
My own experience was that power conditioning and Power chords made the most difference, but the chords need'nt be that costly. I did'nt seem to find expensive Nordost chords better than my cheaper Kemp or Merlin. I am sure others will disagree and say I did'nt try the right expensive PC. As far as cable loom is concerned, I agree same manufacturer, but need not be the same as power chord. I agree with Newbee, speaker cable will give the biggest upgrade, so first, when you establish, by audition which manufacturer to go with. It is as easy as that!!!
