Reasonably prices wires/intrconnects

No comprehensive list of inexpensive interconnects and speaker cable is complete without inclusion of the Kimber PBJ interconnect and Kimber 4PR or 4VS speaker cable. The other option you might consider is the HomeGrownAudio Super Silver interconnect (get a used version to save even more money).

I have used the Kimber and HGA products in my small office system, and they filled the bill nicely without costing too much. I acquired all of the system through Audiogon used equipment ads. (The rather eclectic selection of equipment includes: TEAC PD-H500 CD player; Tandberg Troll integrated amp; Sansui analog AM/FM tuner; Krix Equinox speakers; Kimber PBJ interconnect and Kimber 4VS speaker cable.)

Canare mic cables for ICs and their Pro Starquad speakercables are VERY popular with recording engineers for a reason.

Zu cable is selling on e bay at very good prices, their stuff is a little on the stiff side but I think it is great cable for the money (in my system). Tom G

I had the same problem, "cost effective" office system at work but what to use for interconnects? The system:

Proton 930 Receiver
Micromega Leader CDP
NHT SuperOne speakers
QED Silver Anniversary Speaker wire
Sennheiser HD600 headphones with Cardas wire (awesome wire)

I picked up Goertz Micropurl 1m interconnects, well made and sound good in my set-up. They can be had for about $50 used.

Buy a used cable. You dont have to worry about break-in and they sound much better
