I use SKW RCA cables, available on amazon. They provide a noticeable improvement over cheapo cables and won't break the bank. The sound improvement in the connection between my CD player and preamp was actually shocking.
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?

A little over eight years ago I came across a very positive review of Stager cables in Audiocgon:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/stager-silver-solid-interconnects-2.htmlBased on that and other reviews and user comments on the Silver Solids website, I decided to try a one meter pair, given that I could return it for a fill refund if I wasn't satisfied.Long story short: They're exceptional cables, among the finest available probably at any price. My entire system is uses Stagers, and some friends who share my love of music, live and well reproduced, also have them and are very happy with them. And they are not as expensive as you'd expect for this level of excellence. (I just checked and the prices are still the same as when I bought them in 2013.) It would be advisable to use best the best cables for all your runs, being that they will be in series from preamp to subwoofer and back to your amplifiers. But if you can run the subwoofer independently and just use silver interconnects to you amplifiers, with splitters at the preamp, then the quality of the subwoofer cables will not be as important. But then you would be running the stereo speakers full range and the subs just for some additional low end boost. |
