Cable Recommendations for Entry Level


I am a newbie to this forum and starting to learn just a tiny bit about better equipment. I just upgraded my junky old technics tt to a new REGA RP-1. I have some old JBL 4312A monitor speakers and am currently trying to get hold of a NAD 3020A integrated Amp. My CD player is nothing special. Just wondering if anybody can recommend a reasonable step up from my old radio shack speaker wire...

Buy a pair of affordable used speakers cables. If you don't hear a difference, sell them again and keep what you have.
I'd suggest something from Blue Jean Cable because they are quality and affordable. I suspect that you'll get a better value by putting your money toward component upgrades. I upgraded my CD player and it made a significant difference, much more than the difference I heard between $7 speaker cables vs. $2,000 cables. I have about $500 in my SACD player including three Sort Kones as an FYI.
Hi IamNate

How about this? Make your SCs out of a patio extension cord or something simlar.

Then take the extra money and the advice above and upgrade your CDP. E.g. A used Pioneer Elite PD D6 or maybe an Emotiva ERC-1 CDP.

I did make some SCs out of Husky Patio Extension cord from Home Despot. It was a fun little DIY for me that could yield good results for you.
I highly recommend Signal Cable. I am very impressed with Frank's cables and his prices are hard to beat.
