best interconnect at decent price

Want to get some input on interconnects from everyone.   I have the following components and want to get the best connections between them all:

RAM Labs RM-200 Amp
ARC REF 5 Amp
ARC PH 5 Phone Stage
Rega P3 Turntable with Dynavector high output moving coil cartridge
Vandersteen A3 Signature speakers

I just ordered some speaker wires from AntiCable for the Vandersteens.  I have some cheap interconnects that will connect the components for a while, but I would like to get input on the make and model of interconnects and cabling that are a good long term solution without spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars.  Let me know if you have any suggestions...thanks

Easy answer go to MusicDirect and buy their Audioquest Colorado interconnects.  They are 50% off on clearance and are terrific!  I have my entire system connected with them.  Better than the Columbias also on sale as the bass is tighter and more impactful.

Just for the sake of clarity, I'm sure the op meant to say his RM-200 amp is by Music Reference rather than RAM Labs. RAM Labs is Roger Modjeski's vacuum tube business, Music Reference his amplifier company.

do you use single ended or balanced connectors?

You may try above cable.

Mark of Silnote offers 14 day's return.

I found something special in his digital cable with good details and soundstage.

Thus it could be excellent in interconnect cable.


I had been using Audio Note interconnect for 18 years.

They are transparent with nuanced details but expensive( I had paid 1.5K  18 years ago)
