Low-cost I/C's

Yes, these are better than what I found. I like the solid core wire idea. On second thought, the Audioquest silver RCA's I found will corrode faster than gold.
Comprehensive looks like the best of the lot, but BH does not sell shorter than 1 meter.

Mogami
Can't tell if this is molded. I am asking them.

Not so sure about signal cable as it appears to be stranded. I like the foamed teflon dielectric concept.

I think the Blue Jeans re Belden / Canare offer great value as I've used Canare before and it was pretty good. Only thing better than crimp is spot-weld IME. I'm thinking Signal or Mogami (which also used quad wire design) may be better.

Right now I have ATS Platinum "balanced RCA" directional RCA's. Sam Tellig(?) raved about balanced RCA a few years back although this is not theoretically possible. Also got some Dayton Audio which looks to be pretty good value. My A-Q was great until something broke internally.

Keep in mind that the short length you are specifying will minimize most cable effects and cable differences

This is a good point. So probably getting a good terminal like Eichmann would be more important that the I/C itself?

I think Signal uses Eichmann. Perhaps standard or as an option, I don't recall.

I second Bluejean Cables. They are great cables and value for the money. I compared them to a high end cable that I owned and heard no difference so I switched.
