XLR cable for basic beginner

I'm wondering about $100 cables with the components and speakers you've listed. What's the point of going cheap with the cables?
I'm not saying you can't get reasonably priced good cables but $100? What's the deal? Monster cable? You're wasting the money you spent on the rest of the system! What a shame!

I have balanced XLR cable Anti-Cables for 1/2 price..1 meter if anyone wants.

"You're wasting the money you spent on the rest of the system! What a shame!"

This may not be the most outrageous statement I have read on Audiogon, but it's in the top three.
Some of you people should think before you type.

A 6 foot pair of Mogami Studio Gold will be well under budget. new. Find 'em at Guitar Center.

Rok2id,
It's all a matter of opinion, why is your opinion more valid than any other opinions? The original poster asked for opinions, I gave him mine. He can do with it what he wants, including ignoring it if he wishes, no problem. Opinions are opinions, nothing more, including yours.

My opinion is that the listed components cost over $10,000 and some effort is warranted in finding a synergistic IC.

If an excellent IC can be found for $100, great! But perhaps $250 to $500 might be more realistic. I'm talking used here.
Would you put $29.99 tires on a $100,000 car Mr. Know-it-all?
