Kevin:
What's your favorite cable for use with these connectors?

Oh Karl.... you’re trying to open a can of worms here aren’t you?
Ok.... I should state my standard disclaimer when it comes to wire.
About 99% of what is bandied about concerning wire and the differences it induces in the audio system is hype, voodoo and snake oil. Don't get me wrong... there are typically small audible differences in wire but they are not of the magnitude as claimed by most. The differences are of a magnitude that they are not picked up via statistic testing in blind listening. If they where provable any cable company could easily make claims that their cable was preferred 3:1 over other leading brands. Sort of like the Pepsi Challenge.
My general philosophy when giving people advice is that they should spend their money in the areas that make the most audible difference first. The loudspeaker/room interface is currently the largest source of error in the audio playback system. It makes the most sense that money & effort spent on that area before spending large sums of money on exotic cable.
With that in mind my favorite "working man's cable" is the Canare L-2T2S. It is well engineered with a simple twisted pair geometry & shield. Cost is a manageable $0.70/ft and it sounds as good as many so called high-end cables costing multiples of that.
My favorite boutique cable is the G-Master Reference by Cardas. It is once again a simple twisted pair design with a very good shield.
Both of these cables are low capacitance with good shielding and noise rejection characteristics. The Cardas has the advantage of using their proprietary litz coating (constant Q thing). The biggest advantage to this in my opinion is that it prevents the copper from oxidizing over time. It also uses a more expensive Teflon dielectric and other premium materials that pushes its price up to $5/ft.
If you have a big wallet the Cardas is good stuff. If you have a smaller wallet the Canare is a good choice.
