You might add a $79 pair of JW Audio RCA's to your audition list. I tried a pair about two months ago, taking advantage of their 30 day trial, and found them to at least equal if not out-perform a number of my other sanely priced favorites I had sitting around. My previous favorites are priced in the $150-$250 area. They break all of their cables in for you ahead of time, so it won't take you 2 weeks to figure out if they are going to be "keepers" or not. If you are like most audiophiles, you will end up trying dozens over the years, and it is helpful to not have to take a big loss on every pair that does not synergize with your system. Find some manufacturers that stand beind their products with a similar policy.
