Yanomami, I'm not trying to be a smart ass although I may come across that way, believe me it is not my intent. As in your previous post "Best Speaker Cables" the members of Audiogon will provide many options for you to condsider. The bottom line is that there is no one single best speaker cable or interconnect just as there will be no one single best cable material. The brands and models that the members of Audiogon offer are the personal chioces they have made. These choices have been made by spending many hours listening to different cables and interconnects. It can be a long process, but the reward is worth the effort. You will read suggestions of Cardas, Kimber, XLO, MIT and many other "popular" brands. You will also have members suggest little known brands. Each of them is worthy of a listen, because that is the only way that you will find the cables and interconnects that give you the greatest listening pleasure. I have Transparent Audio Labs Super Balanced interconnects and Super Speaker Cable. I have listened to Cardas, XLO, Straightwire, Audioquest and a couple of others, but to me the Transparents sounded the best. Some will knock my choice of cables and interconnects, that is ok. It's my system and I enjoy what I hear. Asking the members of Audiogon for suggestions is a great way to start, I do it and so do most of the rest of us. If you can tell us what equipment and speakers you have as well your music preferences and budget we will provide all the help we can. You will probably find that some of the suggestions are coming from people that have some of the same components that you have. This will give you an even better starting point. Thanks and Good Luck Doug
