Appropriate RCA cable to go from pre-out to amp?

Yes! Digital interconnects are sold as single cables, not as pairs but two coax digital cables with RCA connectors would probably work.

Any RCA interconnect, including those specifically built for digital signal, will work.

nice moniker.

I'm in the same boat--about to replace my integrated amp's jumpers with an IC. I was just reading a thread on another forum in which several people opined that the pre-to-amp connection is the most important and most sensitive. Which is it? and why?

There's no possible way to really answer your questions. There's just too many variables to consider. Your equipment, personal tastes and budget all play a factor. No matter what anyone says, you just need to figure these things out for yourself. If you are just starting out, I would recommend getting some decent entry level copper cables from a company like Audioquest, Kimber, Cardas etc.. Something well designed but not too expensive. You need cables, no matter what, just to connect your components, so you have to get something. From there, you have a baseline to judge other cables that you may want to try later on. Maybe you will upgrade, maybe you won't. That will be up to you. I say, just use your head and make your own decisions. If you listen to other people and make mistakes, you'll be P**** Off.

@ Zd542,I could have not put the opinion you posted 3-5-13 no better myself!awsome!

Thanks folks. I ended up buying the necessary cables from blue jeans audio as well as some to replace my lfe runs to my subs. Now I have identicall cables for all pre to amp signals. Price was very reasonable and being able to get the exact length required was nice as well.

Thx.

Elizabeth,

my one and only "new car" was in 1978, around the time I had a Mac 2300, C-28 and 2 pairs of ML-1 loudspeakers. In those days mainstream audio (and none more mainstream than McIntosh) didn't seem concerned with IC's and such. '78 was also the year I started out as a music teacher and sealed my fate, financially speaking. Not much disposable income for electronics.

For all the power I had with that rig, I did not find the speakers to be especially accurate or revealing (though they could sure "thump"). Now I have speakers I like but little power. I expect that if I boost the power I will find that in addition to better IC's I will want a better preamp as well (will probably use the pre section of the NAD initially).
Kooshballa, congrats on solving your problem--I'm sorry for temporarily diverting your thread a tad.
Am still interested in hearing exactly WHY anyone thinks the pre-to-amp connection is more or less important than the source-to-pre connections. Maybe another time...?
