What are the best interconnects.

Try Acoustic Zen Absolute. I got 0.5m XLR used for $600 (had King Cobra 0.5m XLR before).

anything purchased from monoprice dot com.

Thanks for the responses guys I agree with you Bigshutterbug but I guess I was looking for a direction to start. Not many dealers in my area. I will look ito the suggestions you guys gave me. Thanks. Has any body had any experience with Cardas lines?

Brad, I can't find a website for RS Audio or the ones I found don't seem to be correct.

Look to the companies that sell direct and offer a 30 (or 60) day money back return policy. Signal Cable, Morrow Audio, MAC (My Audio Cables), and a few others that escape me right now. I've tried Signal Cable and really like them. I prefer them to IC's I've tried from Audio Art, Tara Labs, Kimber, and Straight Wire.

That being said, my personal trend lately is to build my own cables. I just finished one that's designed like the Kimber KCTG that cost me less than $25 to make. I definitely suggest giving Signal Cable a try; I haven't been able find a way to piece together a reasonable facsimile of their cable for less than they sell them without buying enough supplies to make over 100 cables.
