Which inexpensive ic's cables worth checking out?

There are many good ones in the price range, in my opinion. My 2 cents is that I plan to switch my entire system to the new MM2 version of Transparent Audio's Musiclink cables. The basic model is $85 per meter and the step up is $175, brand new.

To my ears they sound remarkably neutral and balanced.

Overall I think good speaker placement does more for sound than cables, anyway.

After a year auditioning different ICs, the least expensive Zu Varial won. I'm using 2 XLR ICs with SR Apex spkr cable and have no desire to change.

Good cable's? how large is the signal traveling through cable? is this any better then that? assuming a couple things that your source is up to the task,a recording you like,experimenting is exciting the sound from a $12 pair of supra spea. cables just blew me away. my wrong thinking about expensive cables had to be corrected that and ran out of money.some great DIY recipes good luck

The new Antipodes company out of New Zealand has a unique line of interconnects. I recently bought a pair of their entry-level Katipo and although these have an unusually long break-in (300 hours), their claim of sounding better than most interconnects costing up to $1000.00/pr. is not exaggerated. These are extremely well-balanced, revealing, and above all very musical. I'm so impressed that I'm buying more to add to my system. One of the great bargains in interconnects.
