...one does not buy a Frank Lloyd Wright home and furnish it with products from Ikea.

That's funny. More than a few Frank Lloyd Wright clients did just that because his furniture was notoriously uncomfortable...but it did look nice in his buildings.

Take some AU 24 speakercable and mix it with some ZU Varial. Pre-owned you will stay within your budget. And besides that it's a good start to explore some more excotic cables. Btw it was the Graaf GM200.

I don't beleive in high priced cable.

Sorry I missed that the first time around. I just assumed (incorrectly) that you would want quality cables to join the quality components you have. I have no further reco for your <$2K price range including all interconnects and speaker cables that would do justice with your components. There are many inexpensive cables to choose from, just pick one that fits your budget.

Tvad, maybe this analogy would work better for you. It's kind of like buying a Ferrari and putting General tires on it. I suppose it does happen though.

I am strongly considering putting General Exclaim UHP tires on my BMW 330i Sport. The tires get great ratings/reviews, and they cost half of the stock Bridgestone tires. However, as you say, I would not install them on a Ferrari.

I completely understood your Wright analogy. I just find it fascinating that so many Wright clients hated his furniture are replaced it, much to his disdain.

I not fond of FLW's furniture as well, and it would be 86'd if I too bought one of his homes. But I would not run down to Ikea to furnish the home any more than I would run down to Home Depot and buy wire or extension cords, use furutech or WBT connectors and run this with my audio system.

There's a context for everything as part of a system and generic cables are not relevant to the system under evaluation here. The issue is not what we believe but what we observe when we open our minds.
