Hi group,

I would like to know what speaker cables you recommend for the setup
below. Currently I am using Oehlbach Silverline 1020*. I want to
replace them for pure copper cables and take advantage of biwiring.

Cable brands I consider to be extremely good and would love their
stuff to carry electrons in my system: Audioquest, Cardas, Nordost,
XLO, perhaps Tara Labs as well.

My system:

NAD C370 integrated amp (worth $850)
NAD C541i CD player (worth $450)
Mordaunt-Short MS908 speakers, biwirable (worth $900)

I have heard and read several times that XLO stuff is the best in the
world which makes me positively biased towards the brand, but I want
to avoid any ripoffs. XLO's Ultra product range seems to be a nice
choice, although, the cables look cheap (in construction).

Also, what would be the cons of buying a used audio cable on the
internet or in a 2nd hand shop or in places like that? Perhaps a way
to obtain insanely priced cables for almost a steal, isn't it?

I cannot wait to read what you have to say. I feel an unbelievable
need to replace my current cables and I am sure this is the place to
learn from all of you.
Thank you.
