So eventually ended up making my own interconnects....12.5 feet length is actually sufficient, I overestimated the initial length. Went with DH Labs Silver Sonic II cable and KLE Copper RCAs...total parts cost $200...all silver plated wires to interconnects...sounded fantastic at initial listen. Not a cable believer at all, Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' never sounded better through vinyl though...but who knows, may be the $20 Kabeldirekt sounds the same as well, I just can't be bothered to test. Wanted to make a shielded silver cable and here we are. Highly recommended. If I wanted to buy it, it'd probably cost $800 - $1200, you figure $200 (parts) + $400 (labor) + $600 (marketing + other overheads) = $1200.
