Checkout Ram Electronics also. They have different quality levels and good value.

Excellent outfit, anong the many cable guys trading on the web now. They offer 30-day return privileges, so you can't go wrong there. I also like the idea of a single cable line. To me, it means they are putting their best effort into one product instead of catering to teh various levels of the market. That approach may also be valid [think Straightwire] but when the guy puts all his eggs in one basket, you can get better results. Oops, I see they have two lines now. Well, the argument is still valid against companies with more levels [and price points] than you would think necessary.

Good luck.

I have owned a pair of their Silver Serpent interconnects (silver/copper hybrid) for 2 years, that I have used between my CD player and Amplifier and they perform wonderfully. They are actually pretty good cables for $90 ... a noticeably better performer than Signal Cable's Analog One (not quite a fair comparison as it is priced at $40). The Silver Serpent is definitely on par with IXOS Silver Gamma 1001 ($120 list) and Signal Cable's Silver Resolution ($140 list).

Other reputable budget cable makers ... Signal Cable (superb speaker cables) and IXOS, a British make available at www.accessories4less.com.
