Need Help! This is my first full range speaker. The equipment used are a pair of ASL monos @25wpc, kt88's with a Radii tube preamp. Prefer recommendations of cables that a mortgage is not required. Have heard Mapleshade is possible.  HELP.

I had been using Audioquest CV-4 w/ bananas on my Parker95 MKII's from my Decware Select.  I noticed a thread on the Decware forum re:
using CAT5 or CAT6 as speaker cable probably from an old AudioAsylum rec.  Just one twisted wire pair stripped out of the CAT5, stripped the ends (no connectors.)  
I only have a short run 3-4 ft, this stuff might heat up in longer runs.  I prefer this on an admittedly very low power amp to anything else I've tried.  
Tried out the quite pricey NBS Omega from my HT setup but found I liked the CAT5 better.  
Apparently the cryoed version is even better.  
As always, YMMV.

Try CAT5 or CAT6.  Go for the single strand plenum rated.  My plenum rated cryo'd CAT5 (that I got in on a group buy for $20/20 feet of single pair) beat out my $200 Kimber Kable 4TC all the way around (more efficient, more bass, more mid/treble detail, yet more relaxed sounding).

Damn, I wonder if it would be better than the 8TC?

I am using a ton of current /voltage so I am cautious of burning up the wires.

Better than 8TC?

I've heard it is, but don't know if it was a high current/voltage application.
