High quality interconnects - bargain price

Guys - Just wanted to pass along something that I stumbled across while setting up a home recording studio.

http://www.guitarcenter.com/Roland/Black-Series-Dual-RCA-RCA-Interconnect-Cable-15-ft-Black-15000000...

These were only $22 for the 15ft version (that I needed), have a stranded OFC copper core, Poly insulation, Conductive PVC sleeve, Spiral braided OFC shield, etc.  They are described as "low capacitance" and have a lifetime guarantee too.

Lots of bang for the buck and work great.

Just thought I'd pass it along since we oftentimes overlook pro-audio equipment as a source for our stereo systems.

Guitar Center also sells Mogami Gold balanced cables, commonly used in recording studios with microphones. They are fitted with Neutrik XLR jacks, and are dirt cheap, like $55 for a single 15' cable. Great for subs, if nothing else.

balanced cables are a very good idea

why some pre-amp & amp manfs. do not use balanced inputs/outputs is beyond me

If these are as good as you say, the manufacturer would immediately raise the price to $2200. That's the way this game works :)

With pro audio, buyers aren't as gullible.

I have been using the top interconnects from MG Audio Design.  Although they are not cheap, nothing can come close for the price.  I first learned about them from a review in TAS by Arnie Nudell.  He and his friend PulMcGoern, of PS Audio, both use them.  Anyway a one meter pair costs $1600, but you can order a half meter pair for only $900.  I find them simply incredible, and I figure if they are good enough for Arnie or Paul, they are good enough for me.
