All of the above responses are excellent. The idea of keeping the cables (inc. speaker cables) short is correct. I have been lucky enough to have many of the most well thought of brands and models. My experience leads to the Nordost Quattrofil's as being the most neutral...system to system. However, perhaps, the interconnect cable that gave the most pleasure in listening, was the Wireworld Gold Eclipse III. If it was the most accurate or not, is up to many opinions.....however, if you listen to Jazz and female vocale (such as Diana Krall, etc.) the Gold Eclipse III will provide nearly sensual pleasure.
