IC's from pre-pro to amp

This cabling affair can get pricey?

No kidding!

It will unlock the best your gear has to offer, however, by investing wisely on them.

If you have HDMI in your proc/receiver/pre do use that interface. That one item will save you a lot of $$$. With HDMI it takes a pretty fine cable to outperform it, think $500+ with analog RCA, a bit more for XLR.

Unless you aim to use the Oppo with two different pre/pros, there's little sense in adding another set of RCA/XLR for 2 ch playback.

I tend to use a more resolute set of ICs on sources. Thereafter one can stay with the same models, or sometimes take a step down.

I've not tried the BJ wires myself... nor the Signal Cables, and I hear/read more positive accounts of the SC wires over the BJ cables... for what ever that's worth.

Only lately and in only my HT setup, have I looked into using very affordable cables. Naturally I've been curious enough to exchange about both systems what ever wires I bring in. The info on Mr. Fritz website regarding his series III silver& copper wires is quite accurate.

Were it me, I'd simply opt to get a pr a month or so and get off the cable treadmill for a while... but as 'Bomonomics' continue to influence our buying habits, I can dig saving dough now.

If there is a trial period with BJ and I kknow there is with AA, get a set of each and see for yourself, and/or with some other makers as well. Send back those you don't like. That's the sure fire way to know what's what!

It may take a month or so to be done with it but you'll wind up buying the best for the system for now anyways.

Don't bring in more than a couple at a time though, as they take time to run in and things get confusing... for me, 2 pr at a time works.
Good luck

I actually like the Auvio cables better than BJ, FWIW.

Know...

I plan on getting a set of the Auvio's tomorrow if posible, in these parts.

I'll get back up here and relate what I think of them in a couple weeks.

Can you compare them to other cables? Like Cardas, Synergistic, AZ, MIT, or HT?

I need a pr for cable box to preamp for the music ch's.

Blindjim,

Not really. I posted a while back on Auvio wires to see if others had used them in more critical applications, but that thread died and I did not get the feedback I wanted. I just really like their sound, very musical and coherent. Would be interested to see how they compare in very high resolution systems versus wires costing many multiples. Hesitant to call them "giant killers" at this point.

I actually also have some Radio Shack "Fusion" wires that they were marketing a few years ago and love these as well. They look almost identical to the "Auvio" brand now for sale (same connectors anyway), but the Fusion cables have a ferrite plug at one end. Usually a no-no for signal wire, but I find it has little negative effect in my system. Somebody on another forum was trying to tell me that the Fusion cables are far superior to the new Auvios, but I haven't noticed the difference personally.

Good luck, please report your experience on here.

Morrow Audio MA1 interconnects are neutral and priced well.
