Long cables

This setup seems fine, and I have no specific complaints -- nor has anyone who's heard the system. But aren't we all looking for never-ending improvement?
An audiophile cable might be something to try. Are there any recommendable manufacturers who give trial purchases on cables that long? I'd like to try to keep this under $1500/pair -- the low end for cables aimed at audiophiles, but still more than 10x what my current cables cost.

So, for a long run you want a low resistance per meter, low capacitance per meter, and very good shielding. It will be hard to beat the Mogami 2549, but there are heavier duty shielded twisted pair cables available. Just thicker and less flexible.
