Reasonable but not outragious interconnects

I think that sfar has inadvertently somewhat muddied the waters in this low cost interconnect discussion. You can buy any of the cables already assembled. This would be my recommendation: https://www.markertek.com/product/msc3rr/mogami-neglex-quad-audio-cable-rca-male-to-male-3-foot-blac...


The reason I did not recommend Blue Jeans LC-1 is that of the big three good but reasonable priced speaker wire manufacturers, I tend to prefer mogami for interconnects, canare for speaker cables and belden for neither. The LC-1 is made from belden wire. This is only in my system, but I wanted to mention my reasoning to you.

I have not tried the signal cable that sfar recommends, but have read only great things about them. One pet peeve I have (not about signal cable in particular) is when the RCA that I am considering ends up being the lowest in their product line.

I can recommend the Audioquest Silver Extreme IC's. Available from HCM for about $90 (list price was $400). I bought 5 sets! Can't beat the value/price ratio!

Several good choices listed above.

Two salient competing factors at play here in this post This is well-traveled and ever-repeating post.Don’t agonize further.

(1) Without prejudice to the following, the choice of cables are entirely system dependent.... full stop. There is no one size fits all.

(2) in brief, everything is built to its price point . For example, the quality build contenders with top materials (OCC all-Cu or Rhodium vs. Cheap brass ) provide a superior grip in ICs that is very important. That’s why , say, cables outfitted with superior connectors including inter Alia: WBTs / NEUTRIK PROFI / FURUTECH/ OYAIDE et al; all cost more even as simple DIY components in the overall cable construction than exceed your stated budget and also. perform better.

Hence at that low budget price point, it’s not going to have them in favour of cheap built to its price point choice connectors price strata.

So, along with a choice of the actual matched cheap budget cable built-to-its price-point choices therein, it is generally reduced to a “just pick on of ‘em” exercise. The audio performance improvement delineation between all the many suggestions posted (and similar) are only very minimal to nil; with a strong lean to the latter end of the spectrum.
