Reasonable but not outragious interconnects


Hi,

Can you all please give me some recommendations on rca interconnects lets say in the $50-$75 per pair range for 3’? 

I have the new b&w 804 d3’s, Classe amp and Marantz pre amp. I’m not looking for $200/ft cables. Just something decent and reasonable. I know a lot of people on this forum go super expensive. I will admit I am running monoprice cables on it now and it sounds really good but I think I could get the little bit more out of this system with better. 

Thanks

Hi Meh03,

You have good components and speakers. What you put into your system is what you will get out of it. Ideally one wants to spend 25-30% of their budget on cabling. By utilizing inexpensive cables you are not realizing the full potential of what your system can produce. I would say maybe 35% as it stands now.

Think of your cables as the veins and nervous system. The power cables transport energy - the blood of your system.  Interconnects and speaker cables transform Information. The less quality the cables the less energy and information you will have. 

You do not have to spend a fortune, but you do have to be realistic and as you are already doing - research 

There are a lot of good suggestions provided to already - but check this out as a resource before you invest.

Sounds excessive but your money your ears.
I use and love Anticables. The owner, Paul Speltz, is very helpful and friendly. They have all price points and have a trial period and an upgrade option within 30 days I believe. I'm very happy.
I’m a little surprised no one has mentioned Surf Cables. They seem to try to take the “snake oil” out of it and just use high-quality materials and solid construction techniques. 

I’ve used their products for most of my system, and John, the owner, is great to work with. The cables sound and work great.
