Decent starter cables?


I'm new to Audiogon and new to hifi. I'm looking for some direction/suggestions for speaker cables and component interconnects. I'm not looking to spend big money on cables, just something decent.

I apologize ahead of time since this question has probably been brought up countless times...

I feel that the Coincident CST 0.5 loudspeaker cable is the BEST BUY in that area. Very close to being a world class cable at the $200/8 ft price point. It definitely betters the AudioQuest Midnight cable which I also own.

In terms of interconnects, if your system is not harsh, then I recommend the HomeGrown Audio Silver Lace. I find it to be the best IC I have come across, and the price is less than $200! Coincident CST also gets my nod. Reference quality cable to be sure. Under those prices, if you prefer silver, try HomeGrown Audio Super Silver. A bit better than Kimber KCAG at 20% of the price. For copper, buy the best AudioQuest cable $50 will buy you.
