Budget Cables for Budget setup - pls advise

Hi all!

After weeks of research and auditioning have settled on the following kit -

My 1st Speaker Setup

Speakers: PSB Alpha B1
Amp: NAD 316BEE
DAC: HRT Music Streamer II
Source: Macbook Pro
Cables: ? (USB cable, Interconnect, Speaker Cable)

As you can see I need help with cables. My gear is really beer budget stuff so nothing too fancy. Just need cables that are decent enough for such an affordable system.

Total budget for cables: 100USD for all - USB, Interconnect, Speaker Cable =(

Many thanks in advance!

I suggest that you search the archives

I made a pair of the White Lightning DIY speaker cables and they are very good but you may not find the cable at Walmart anymore (do a search for White Lightening) if you can find the extension cord it will cost about $7!

USB really makes a difference but I do not have a rec. for that price. The HRT is really nice imo.

good luck

Blue Jeans Cables for that budget would be my suggestion.

I agree with Deanz in the recommendation of Blue Jeans Cables all around.

A cheaper option for the speaker cables which would be fine for your gear is Canare 4s8 cable from markertek.com using bare wire connections at both ends.
