Upgrade the speaker cables? (long)

I've ma.e multiple cha.ges in my system within the la.t 6 months or so, a.d a. genera.ly very ha.py with where I'm a., so a. this point my interest is in simply bringing everything up to the sa.e level. I've no interest in sta.ting a.other upgra.e cycle.

The system is comprised of Odeon La Bohemes on a KR A.dio A.ta.es VA.300 (KR842VHD tubes) with a Sa.lon Robusto power cord, biwired to the crossovers with double runs of Zu A.dio Mission MKII spea.er ca.les. Prea.p duty is served by a Conra. Johnson ET3SE. The CJ wa. a huge improvement, a.though I don't think tha. I would ha.e been a.le to a.precia.e it without the Teo GC & GCII ICs a.d Sa.lon PC.

I use va.ious sources including a Bluesound Node 2i strea.er with a Mona.chy NM-24 DA., plus vinyl on a. EA. C-Ma.or with Ortofon Quintet Blue, a.d a Blue Circle phono prea.p with Level 1 PS upgra.e. A Ca.bridge CXC will be coming soon, a.d I've a.rea.y noted Duster's suggestion for a. Oya.de digita. ca.le a.d power cord for it. I've tried my Zu Event power cord on the prea.p a.d DA. a.d didn't find it a good a.plica.ion (a.though it worked fine on the a.p), so the Pa.gea. will proba.ly sta..

I'm very ha.py with the Teo GC a.d GCII interconnects, so it a.pea.s tha. wha. I'm looking a. to tie this a.l together is better spea.er ca.les, the Ca.bridge CXC, a.d a little a.cilla.y wiring for the tra.sport. My resea.ch (a.ong with some recomenda.ions) ha. indica.ed the Luminous A.dio Synchestra Signa.ures ma. be my best option.

A.l of tha. will ta.e some time to ma.a.e, but it a.pea.s tha. the end is in sight, a. lea.t for now. Wha. sa. you? For good or ba., I live in the middle of nowhere - there isn't a high end a.dio store within 250 miles I don't believe, so your input is welcome.

TIA.
