When I wanted to add some new IC’s to my system I bought 5 pairs of Audioquest Silver Extremes from HCM. $90/pair for 1 meter. HCM will provide longer lengths for an additional charge. These sold new for $400/pair! An excellent IC!
I'm looking for a pair of interconnects that won't shatter the bank....
....but I have some extenuating circumstances that may make that impossible. First things first, the interconnects both have to end in RCA Male-to-Male because I don't have an XLR option and every component uses RCA connections.
I am running a bi-wired and bi-amped system so the interconnect runs are rather long. The longest run is around 9 feet and connects my preamp to my Subwoofer In ( the Subwoofer is a Sunfire SDS-12 ). The second run is shorter but still long. It's the Subwoofer Out to the Amplifier In which is about 6 feet. Obviously, I am looking for interconnects that already have those RCA connections attached.
Any ( nice, polite and helpful ) suggestions?

Pine Tree Audio will make you various cable types, custom length, custom colors, your connector choice. prices are very reasonable. I recommend locking RCA connectors, I’m sure they can/will get them for you. https://sites.google.com/view/pine-tree-audio/interconnects/single-ended?authuser=0 ..................................... this guy sells 99.9999 copper conductor component video cables, locking rca connectors. 3’, 6’, 12’ (ask about, search for 9’) https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2545226.m570.l1313&_nkw=component+locking... they peel apart easily. I bought two component cables, and ended up with 3 pairs of stereo interconnects, each pair matching colored locking rca connectors, then I just marked both ends of my positive one in each pair with red tape. you could save money if only 1 long run is needed, use 2 of the 3 and have a spare single, but the connectors would be different colors if that matters. ............................................. this guy, matching stereo pairs, you pick lengths, 99.9998 (hah), locking rca connectors https://www.ebay.com/itm/144002231194?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item218733ab9a:g:rQgAAOSweRhgb0fJ&... |
The one to the sub won’t matter, so buy whatever length you need from Best Buy or similar for $20 and call it good. You should not be running a sub out to your amplifier. That is sending your stereo signal through the sub, never a good idea. Ditch that, run another cheap IC to the sub and now you only need one good one from preamp to amp. Er, amps. |
