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!

Defy disbelief and allow a week for all cables to settle and try again.

Do try to let them break in. I have noticed the need to let cables and fuses settle in, break in, whatever..

Not sure about the length thing. I have heard that a slightly longer cable can be better, but only for digital. I believe it was USB. Not sure why it would matter for analog. Same cables, different lengths? Or are the different lengths also different cables?
Lee, audiophile enemies is impatience,  when I have new cables, I burn them it, most important , leave them for at lease 6days to settle...even expensive cables need time to settle, to perform their best...Dave +1 agree 100%
By “settle”, do you mean leave them connected and listen to music with them for a week? 

They sound so harsh!
You can get good results with lower end Audioquest or with bulk Canare (e.g. Starquad) and good ends that you can make up yourself.
