I use Mogati 8700 S Turbo Galaxy inter cables. Speaker wire was so 1970s. Mine have a cool name, costs more money, really cool coating on I can only assume are gold strands and seems to improve my sound. I should also mention I have fern pots on my speakers, lots of reflective decorative plates on the wall, and improper set up of the speakers to listening position (dern wife), but dang, those wires..!!!! Top Notch. I also listen to scratchy records with a .10 watt amp and $80,000 custom speakers. The first .00000000001 watt is the most important. Also I live on a busy street and the ambient noise level is 60 dB.
