My advice is always the same. Before anyone make any changes to her cabling, she absolutely must treat her current/existing cables on a proper burn-in device. And yes, ALL of the myriad MIT cables my friends and I have possessed have possessed zero instances where they would not be treated [OTOH, Tara Lab's power strips just don't want to be treated].
Right have on AA, you can search the reviews for mine on, for example, Cardas and MIT.
It does take some effort, to find someone who has a cable burn-in device from the likes of Nordost, Hagerman, and audiodharma. But wouldn't you rather do that, than waste thousands of dollars on new cables?
It takes experience and maturity, to understand that the limiting factor is the source. If the source isn't capable of producing XYZ, then no cable can magically make XYZ appear.
Sticking the Nordost Odin interconnect on the CAL Sigma II was fun. But did that let us find out where the Odin's limits were? Not even close.
These cable looms are a serious investment. Take the time to use a cable burn-in device. Then borrow a bunch of cables. Then ask yourself critical questions, such as:
Do they come in the right lengths for my needs?
Are they too stiff, heavy, or unwieldy?
Do they look like they'll last?
Do the connectors have poor ergonomics?
Does the product look ugly?
Are they difficult to clean?
Cables are all sonically compromised, but do those compromises lie in areas which don't bother me?
In the end, it doesn't matter what my or anyone else's value system is. If a product has a character you don't like, say NO, and move on. If a product checks off things you need and like, then that's all that matters.
