Best interconnect between pre-amp and CD player??

The question should actually read. "How to choose the best sounding interconnect between pre-amp and CD player" Without getting on the IC of the month club merry-go-round where you could/may spend thousand of dollars looking for the smoothest, most accurate, and most musical, how can the selection process be made easier.?? I already have 6 IC's in the drawer, and I am a sloucher compared to other members who have stockpiled 4 to 6 times that amount waiting to be sold.

In these tough econmic times, dealers are reluctant to loan out $250 plus IC's for evaluation. Would like some input and comments on finding the right IC for a quality CD player..... Thanks, Jimbo

What about The Cable Company? Their business is loaning out cables, so you can find the one that works best in your system. The other option, as you know, is buying and selling until you find the one you like.

That's what I want, interconnects in their very own plastic bag. I think you should try Chord interconnects. That's who makes Naim's cables. It's smooth, detailed, open and rich.

Nonoise, I have heard from friends the Mapleshade cables sound good, but the design seems delicate. I didn't mean to offend you and I am sure they sound great in your system.

I was using Chord cables long before I knew Naim uses their cables. However, the fact that Naim uses Chord makes quite a statement. I have used Chord with both tube and solid state equipment and the results are always very good.
