Keep the amp between your speakers and buy or better yet make your own interconnect from Belden 1694A or Belden 1505F with Eichmann Silver Bullet RCAs. The BJC LC-1 is also a very good choice in your price range. You will not be disappointed or notice any loss versus spending more. IMO.
long speaker cables or IC's for budget system
I am planning to rearrange my room so that my stereo rack is in the back corner of my room instead of between the speakers. The issue this creates for me is which cables to switch out. I could leave the amp between the speakers and run a 25ft pair of IC's from the amp to pre-amp or move the amp back to and run a 30ft pair of speaker cables from the amp to speakers. I currently have MIT T2 interconnects between my amp and preamp (1meter) and have 8ft MIT T3 speaker cables. The problem is I am only giving myself a $150 budget which has me looking at Blue Jeans cables. Am I hurting the sound quality of my system by downgrading cables? Please take a look at my system to see a list of my components. The only upgrades that I plan to make in the next couple of years would be switching from 1c's to Vandersteen 2Ce Sigs and maybe upgrading the turntable as well. Please factor in my future upgrades with your suggestions. Thanks in advance for the input.
