IMO the problem with cables is they all (usually) work.
Cheap, hardware store wire, esoteric frowfrow.. doesn't matter.. Big wires skinny wires.. all work.
Some work beter than others.. SOMETIMES.
So it is all a crapshoot.
I have midpriced gear. ($35,000) and I call it mid line..
So I can play with wires. I find some cheap eBay silver plated milspec wires to be almost as good ad $30 a foot speaker cable..
Right now I am playing with various Kimber bulk wire. They go well with the Cardas Parsec I got for my sources and such. I need a 6m XLR and am sorting out which wire combo I want. I can say the Parsec was not useful at 7m XLR. (mainly as it is NOT designed to be used XLR. though it can get away with it for 1 or2 meter lengths.)
I really would say no one can tell you what is 'right' for any system. You have to play around. Some advice may be worth a bit,and other advice is crap. Sometimes wire matters.. other times makes no damn difference at all.
So all in all it is a big mess.
Worth fooling around in it though.
PS if you are confused. Stick to the big names. and not too much money in wires.
