BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH?

Haha magic fairy dust is expensive. 

Yeah who would have thought that shielding closed the sound but I guess it  makes sense now. Like I said, I’ll try it without shielding, and add it if I need to do it. 

I literally knew nothing when I started. This was all very interesting and I’m glad the guys in here stuck with me until I understood. 

My set up is in my living room close to my TV and cable box so I would use shielded.  Belden LC-1 is what I would have recommended but only Blue Jeans sells that cable and you didn't want them.

Although we do not seem to agree about ground loops, nevertheless, thank you for the discussion.

It’s the rca connects blue jeans used that I just can’t get over. 

@craigert, I think the little time you put in doing your research has paid off really well. So good in fact you have also helped you fellow 'audiophiles'. @dopogue is using Duelund 20g interconnects over his highly regarded clear day cable interconnects. Now that says a lot. Please see below link and thanks for posting.
