hi folks, i'm looking to upgrade my cabling for my c10x and m10x. I currently have my very old cables (QED and BlueJeans) which were great for my previous system but they do not bring out the best of my lastest system. I am waiting to collect some more information before I start demos as I'd like to not be in the cycle for too long before I land on the cables. With all that being said, what cables do you folks have and recommend for this pre and power combination?

The rest of my system is made up of a gyro se with a koetsu black goldline cartridge, gold note phono, blue sound node into a chord qutest dac all of which have their own PSUs. My speakers are ATC SCM50 passives and a pair of REL carbons.
 
I use Acoustic Zen cables for my c10x and m10x and have been very happy with them. I find them to be a good bang for the buck. For my interconnects I use AZ Absolute Copper, for my PC's, I use AZ Krakotoa's and for my speakers I use AZ Hologram II's.
 
I have an M10X, Esoteric C1X solo pre and K-01XD SACD player, all initially powered by Shunyata Alpha NR V2s. Very satisfied. When I acquired an Aurender N20 transport, I decided to get a Shunyata Alpha-X PC. Mike recommended I use the Alpha-X on the K-01XD instead of the new N20. I tried it both ways, but the impact via the K-01XD was far greater (thank you, Mike). The Alpha-X takes a long time to break in (100-125 hrs), but when it does, WOW! Tremendous bass articulation and depth. Strings sound more natural with less etching on more aggressive recordings. Improved sound stage dimensionality. IMO a great power cable and, for me, the equivalent of a component upgrade.
