Need a rec for good quality RCA cables.

[ThunderousBass]

I apologise/recognize that this may be OT...TOTALLY rewiring my setup in honor of my "new" 500A. I need to get new interconnects that are inexpensive, but which are great quality.

I have Radio Shack cheapies, RCAs that came with computers...no two alike -- every kind of mutty, cheap, misfit RCA cable there is.

Not in the market for $400/meter Audiogon wackiness. Looking for something high-quality, but light on the pocket book...PLEEEEASE don't say "MonsterCable!" :) I think I will need 20 pr! :shudder:

Price will be the direct determinant of WAF.

Thanks, TB

[AudiblConoiseur]

what are you rewiring? why would you need 20? there are many cable companies, too many to mention.

[Lizard_King]

I suggest Belken Pure AV silver series.

[ThunderousBass]

Rewiring an HT, man. Two pre-amps, various amps, 2 DVDs, VHS, TiVO, DirecTV, Tuner...20 may be a LITTLE high, but not VERY high.

Anyone know where the Hsu interconnects are located on the site, now? Don't see them anywhere.

Thanks, TB

Here (http://www.hsuresearch.com/products/cable.html)and Here (http://www.hsuresearch.com/products/cable-stereo.html).

you probably need different lengths...right?

Look at bluejeanscable.com and monoprice.com

[Liaury]

I'd also include www.cablesforless.com

They appear to be similar to bluejeans.

[ThunderousBass]

BlueJeans make nice cables, but at $35 a throw...? I can't afford to lay down $700 on cables. And Hsu's seem to be only in a 20ft length. That's too long.

I got a good HDMI cable from an outfit called EMT. I wonder how they are for RCAs.

Certainly monoprice is a good suggestion. Thanks, all.

I bought a coax compression fitting tool and coax compression connectors like the cable and satellite installers use.

The compression RCA connectors are a little pricey, compression F connectors with F to RCA adapters are a little more cost effective.

Now I can make cables the exact length I need, and really spruce up the back of my equipment rack.

Shielded RG-6 makes a great interconnect.

I've purchased long HDMI cables and optical cables from monoprice. I haven't been disappointed.

These are economical and work well. I don't care for their HDMI cables though as I thought they were too stiff - but they may have a better option there too. Or you could try a 6 inch cable on the end, which is what I did for a friend when his HDMIs were so stiff they kept coming out of the XBR3.

Over the years I have done numerous controlled listening tests...With wire it is not hard at all to be "all done" as far as sound/image signal transfer goes. This can conflict with audiophile fun where nothing is ever "all done", ha!
