Best Budget RCA cables


Hi guys,

What is your go-to budget/inexpensive RCA cable recommendation ($30-$50)? Would there be an appreciable difference between this interconnect and $6 Kabeldirekt cables?  The Kabeldirekt RCAs sound pretty great to my ears!

Thanks!

Here’s a third recommendation for solid core based cables. The OP doesn’t mention his gear, but it looks like he at least has a Marantz integrated.

Morrow Audio MA1 would be under the budget, as would Audioquest Evergreens. But to reap the benefits, all interconnects in the system need to be solid core. I’d suggests solid core cable for the speaker cable too. Audioquest Type 4 or Morrow Audio SP1.
Belden 8402, various sellers on ebay.
Wireworld Luna or Solstice
All of these sound as good as cables that are more expensive.
I like these if you can afford about $80 / pair USD plus shipping.

I also have the same Mogami 2549 wire with KLEI Copper Harmony RCA terminators.
