Speaker Cable for Tube SET System?


I would like some (tried and true) recommendations for speaker cable. My concern other than overall sound is bass control (damping and what effects it, if this is a part of the wire puzzle). The system is: Audion Silver Night 300B stereo version (7.5 watts), Reynaud Twin speakers, CAL Icon MKII with Bel Canto DAC, Mapleshade Digital IC, Homegrown Super Silver analog IC, BMI Whale PC's and two Monster HTS2000 power conditioners. The only two cables that I am considering at this time are: the Mapleshade Single or Double Helix and Analysis Plus Oval 12. I can get by with 10 ft runs, but would prefer to have 12 footers to cover any future reconfigurations (or to use them in a second system as time goes by) and would like to keep the cost at $300 and under. I am currently using Kimber 4VS and would like a more natural sound than they seem to offer in this setup, plus bass control as mentioned before. I will probably only audition two to three cables at the most and or buy and then sell used if I hear no improvement. Thanks.

Psychic: I live in LA and am a little concerned about one of the relatively unshielded speaker cables that I am considering. I had as hell of a time with lightly shielded power cords awhile back. Unshielded IC's dont seem to be a problem, but the PC's were. Wonder about speaker cable.
Call Steve, he's a cool guy...also, there are audio forums on the Decware website where you can address your questions to the people who use Zens and similar equipment. As far as I know, RF is not too much of a problem in speaker wires because although the wire acts as an antenna, it does not get amplified (don't quote me). I've read some good reviews on devices to treat the speaker wire before it enters the loudspeaker, but am completely ignorant about the subject.

I have been thinking of making my own 'Psychic' speaker wire. E-mail me and I'll let you know what's on my mind...I dont want to get attacked because I want to save money and am creative...look what happened when I said I own a Technics SL-1200MK2 and am modifying it!
Scaled back the percs to lots of motrin and am learning to type with my left hand. Doc says I'll be able to play the piano after the stitches come out which is amazing because ....
Thanks for asking about my injury guys, and no, I can't believe what I posted yesterday, either.Spent a lot of time listening to the Coincident speaker cables today and first impressions, even drug induced were right on: not just more dynamic but an actual increase in absolute volume level as well as comfortably listening at higher dB's. Soundstage is wider and deeper. The character of the Kestrel's hasn't been changed i.e. I don't perceive that the cables are "tone controls" but rather they are allowing the mighty 30 watts of the Music Reference RM-10 to do more work. for the first time I perceived what some of you may call "faster", a concept I never paid much attention to. However, on "Saxophone Colossus" Max Roach' drum kit has a more percussive effect and the electric bass on Bonnie Raitts cut of Chieftains "Tears of Stone" has more impact and tunefulness. Isn't that a remarkable CD? The opening bass line on Miles Davis "Kind Of Blue" let's you "see" the strings being plucked. All of this is hinted at on the DH Labs T-14 but there's so much more of it with the Coincident. Now I wonder how much better things can get if I replace the HG Silver Solution IC's with Coincident or Silver Lace. Oddly, I don't feel the need to re-position the speakers as I did when replacing the pre-amp with a volume control, and the improvement in sound here is almost as great.
Brulee, a "mensch" is more than just a good guy. He's someone who always does the right thing just because of who he is. Thanks again. And to all of you who have helped me a little further along this journey.
Hey Trelja I did not figure you for a Paisano.The J in you handle threw me off.My folks are from Northern Italy and I live in the Toronto area,which is home to over a half Million Paisanos.Salute
Brulee is an honorary paisano.Both of you are good guys.
I ended up going with a 47 Labs OTA cable kit (speaker cable and IC's) and will post a review in the OTA thread later this week.
