Look for a Triode Wire Labs power cable, either the 7 or 10. Should be able to find one for $300 or less. I find speaker cables more of crap shoot. What speakers are you using?
my advice would be to go to a place that allows you to get the cables on trial.
That would be great, but impossible to find here. You don't even find a real Hifi-Dealer anymore - more or less everything is online these days.
What budget?
What budget? I found the best "cheap" ones are Grover Huffman and Morrow MA-3 (stupid long break in period) then Hapa Audio though is far better than them. I don't really notice too much differences unless the music is really loud though.
Actually poorly designed components are most sensitive to cable differences.
I'll have a look if there is something used to get. In terms of speakers I currently use the Goodmans Dimension 8, which I'm in the middle of refurbishing. As a fallback candidate the Klipsch Heresy II or the KEF 104/2 Reference.That would be great, but impossible to find here.

Interesting. Is there support for this statement other than your experience?
Yes, audio equipment manufacturing consultant Dick Pierce, first noticed this back in the 90's. With interconnect cables acting differently, it was traces to poor design of expensive components.
I read something years ago whereby the author said that home audio components should have huge copper ground plates and if they did differences in cables would disappear. But the cost is prohibitive for most products. Could that be what you're referring to?
Do you guys think a vintage system would benefit from high end speaker / power cables? In my case we're talking about a preamp/poweramp combination from Sony. TA2000F + TA3200F. Any thoughts or experiences? Is it worth to go the cable route?
I know that the question regarding the impact of cables towards the sound quality is discussed controversial. What I understood so far is, that the better the system, the more you might hear a difference.Honestly speaking I so far never experimented with cables. Do you guys think a vintage system would benefit from high end speaker / power cables? In my case we're talking about a preamp/poweramp combination from Sony. TA2000F + TA3200F. Is that good enough of a system to have an audible effect? So far I'm using the standard power cable and a standard copper speaker cable with 4mm2.Any thoughts or experiences? Is it worth to go the cable route?
