recommendation for best low cost rca interconnect

depending upon your taste, outlaw audio continuous cast copper cable at $55.00 is a good choice.

another to consider is the element interconnect, unshielded with bullet plugs.

since you didn't indicate your preferences i am indicating these cables based upon personal experience.

i own a pair of each.

i have personally auditioned many varities at different prices. if you want to ask more questions about cables, feel free to ask.

I'm surprised not to see the oval one ic by Anaylsis plus. This cable is under 100.00 and I find myself always coming back to it after changing cables. Currently between my Philips sacd and NAD intergrated.

Acoustic Zen WOW!! should be able to get a used pair for the money you're looking to spend.

Mrtennis, I would like to hear more about the cables you've tried. I'm kind of going through the same thing myself right now. Pretty happy with equipment so I'm looking to squeeze out that last little bit of performance from cables.

I've also been using the Outlaw IC's. Really good cable, but the connectors are a bit big and a pain to get on and off. For speaker cable I'm using Monster M1s bi-wire.

I'm starting with the IC from my CDP to pre-amp and will work my way from there. Since my CDP is a Naim CD5i which has a DIN output that is supposed to sound superior to the RCA outputs, I bught a couple of IC's used that are DIN to RCA. A Nordost Blue Heaven and Chord Cobra.

I've had both in the my system this weekend, spending the majority of time concentrating on the BH, and I will continue my test over the next week or so. However, I have to tell you that so far, to my ears and in my system, the Outlaw seems better than both. Even with the DIN.

Anyhow, I'd love to hear your observations and what you have tried. I'm seriously considering just staying with the Outlaw and moving on to replacing the speaker wire.
