Looking for an advice about speaker cables

Hello everyone,

I'm very new to better audio and I'm trying to put together a decent setup to listen to my (for now) small vinyl collection. My dad "donated" few components and currently I have NAD C340 Amp, Rega P1 turntable and Monitor Audio Studio 2 bookshelf speakers. Only thing I'm missing are speaker cables. Can someone suggest a decent pair of speaker cable that will not be too expensive. I also need help figuring out what kind of connectors I need to get. I went to check out Kimber Kables web site and looks like SBAN type would work with my amp. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

I used to use the Belden from Blue Jeans...it's *ok,* decent even, but it's really no big deal. The sound is kind of flat and boring. I replaced it with another cable (Bryston) and that really woke up the system. More expensive, but worth it, imo. To be fair, I currently use a Bryston amp, so it probably boils down to better synergy.

Another low-cost cable to try is Mogami. I've heard good things about them as well.

For the diy-er, the Nanotech Systems 777 with Furutech rhodium spades are very good. The wire is very easy to work with. Sound wise, I am totally satisfied.

I sell both Kimber and Audioquest. In your situation I would go for Audioqest. Because it is more precise. When you want to go for the most involving sound I would go for Kimber.

Audioquest? expensive and has a grain like sound to it and I don't buy into the battery. good sounding cables for cheap I would go with signal cable or JW audio. if I was going to buy the end of the game cables I would go with Mosaic speaker and interconnects designed by Dale Pitcher, these are the best cables I have ever heard at any price point period!
