My many thanks for all your replies, much appreciated.
I received a message from Oliver who asked if I fancied try his Spotfire cables. I've just asked to be put on the waiting list.
I've just read the thread and they sound very promising.

Imho a lot of emphasis on interconnects is a wee bit of a tail chase.
At Toms gaff recently, he had a £19 cable in his system which wasn't out of place at all.
Personally I have got on really well with Duelund DCA20GA tinned copper wire in oil cloth (£5.50 a metre from Hifi collective) With some half decent plugs. They have stayed in my system and with real synergy. In fact out performed Kimber selects, and a few other flash interconnects...
That said, Paul's RFC cables are very very well made and very appealing, he certainly knows what he's doing

Forgot about those - yes I bought a 2m pair of those £19.99 Edge cables from ebay as i did a bit of shuffling ... my RFC 1.5m cables are a bit short (thought they'll be fine when I get the Radford STA100 back this month) so needed a stop gap. The link between pre and power is the least cable sensitive of any position in in my view.
Speaker cable I use Western Electric copper which sound fine and cost me probably £60 terminated. I have some slightly longer Russian litz coming out of curiosity (a whole £108) but I don't necessarily expect to hear much if any difference.
I've just ordered a set of the Spotfire cables from Oliver.
Oliver very kindly added me to the waiting list for the loan pair but it meant me waiting for possibly months. I have no patience or willpower so I went for it...I think the heat has got to me.
