UPDATE:
I now run Audio Magic Excaliber II interconnects from my sources, and Audio Magic Excaliber II Speaker wires to my Bass panels and my subs, and Vampire SC-1108 to the midrange and ribbons on the Maggies. My balanced interconnects from preamp to crossovers are hand built using Canare Star Quad, Neutrik XLR's, and Cardas Quad Eutectic Silver Solder. (26 ft. X 4 - 2 for main Crossover, and 2 for Sub crossover.

I used to maintain certain "uniformity" as in not all but mostly The Chord Company.

However in recent weeks I've been toying with cables and it'd become almost totally heterogeneous:

-Speaker cable: DIY bi-wiring with WBT connectors
-2 of the powercords are: also DIY with German Lapp Kabel Oelflex and Furutech connectors
-Another powercord: Element Cable Red Storm
-USB, Optical and dig. coaxial cables: The Chord Company
-Digital coax input 2: Signal Cable Silver Resolution

Playing with cables is fun innit

Power cables.

I am using 2 "brands".

1) Sound-YP (Ukraine, Ternopil City)






2) self-made cables. It's military soviet copper bus, polished by hand with german noe expensive connectors - Mennekes (black) and Kopff (brown).

I think I have reached a point where I'm done with cables.
I use a Kubala/sosna Emotion Balanced (xlr) phono cable
Audioquest Skys from CDP and phonostage to preamp.
Audioquest Colorados from preamp to amps and subwoofers
Audioquest Mont Blanc speaker cables w/Kubala-sosna Elation! jumpers
Powercords are all from signal cable but one, Its a JPS red wave and used on the preamp.
Entire system uses xlr cables

Since my initial post I've started switching over to Siltech. I have a Royal Signature Golden Ridge II, 2 Royal Signature Ruby Hill IIs and a pair of Classic Anniversary 330i's. All cables are equipped with Furutech's top line connectors, the carbon & rhodium versions. One of my Ruby Hill's has the newest NCF variants.
