Best "Giant Killer" Value Cables For...

Nothing wrong with Blue Jeans IC's or the Belden or Canare speaker cable. Its benchmark for inexpensive cable as far as I'm concerned and fairly neutral so far as I can tell.

I understand what you are asking but I don't know if you are going about it the right way. The first thing you need to consider is what type of components you own. If you have an entry level system that doesn't have the highest resolution, it wouldn't make sense to buy really high end cables. Your system won't be able to take full advantage of them. If you list your components, you may be able to get some better recommendations.

That said, I can recommend one cable that is definitely worth looking into. If you are willing to buy used, you can probably get a very price on a pair of Audioquest Jaguars. I own several pairs and even at its list price, they will hold their own with other cables that cost a lot more. The best part is that if you look at the cable that replaced it, (Columbia) its almost the same cable. The upgrades are very small. I have those, as well, and I really can't hear much of a difference, if any. Jaguars sell for very low prices. They are true high end cables that match well with just about everything.

I would add Grover Huffman cables to your list. I tried a set of the interconnect and heavily preferred it to a cable at 10X it's price. He got a couple reviews that basically said the same thing, his cables compete with cables at any price.

I am also exploring a similar road with a small 2nd system. Wireworld has entry level cables that are suppose to be quite good. For instance, their Equinox 6 interconnects are $200/meter. Again, I am only giving this some thought, and have yet to hear them. I agree w/ Zd542 about knowing your system and $ range. This would best help others help you.

I have blue jeans speaker cables and rcas. IMO they are the best value for money. Custom lengths, nuetral, low cost, fast shipping and they have a new machine that welds the wire directly to the termination to ensure tight fit that will never come loose.

I also own audioquest type 4 which are IMO also an excellent value. They are a little bit better than the blue jeans, but a little more expensive too.
