I'v got a decent entry/mid level system like yours and I mainly use Tributaries cable. SP4 speaker wire $4/ft w/out terminations SCA300 1m interconnects about $90 and DCA100 stereo connections about $50. The also make S-video cables but they are kinda pricey, I just use monster Component Video and Monster S-video. Check the website -http://www.tributariescable.com/
Help, Need Info, Please Read
Ok, one of these days I'll get around to typing my story, "The Making of an Audio/Videophile". Or at least as best as I can afford. Alright, here's my setup, and basically what I'm looking for is info on wiring. I have a Denon 5700, RCA 5500 DVD(and Raite 715), RCA 725 SVHS, RCA 480 AC3 Satellite Receiver, Equalizer/Spectrum Analyzer(light show), RCA 56" smooth screen, Infinity Overture 3's, CC3 Center, QPS1 rears, 200 watt 15" sub, and cheap monster cable. WHAT CABLES SHOULD I GET? I don't have a lot of money (at least not after buying all the other stuff), but I'd like better cable. I'm looking probably at 3 sets .5 meter rca's, and 2 sets 1 meter, 2 .5 meter S-Video, 1 1 meter S-Video, 1 2 meter S-Video, 1 4-5 meter sub rca's, and probably speaker wire. The interconnects definately have to go, as with the cheap sub wire. The front speaker wire is some stuff I got from one of our wholesalers, don't remember what brand it was, it's 12 gauge microstrand, every strand is silver plated, good? And I'm running a Monster Power HTS 2000, good? As far as power cords go I'm running standard on everything. I just looked and the Denon 5700, and the DVD have removeable power cords. The Denon has a computer style, and the DVD has a small flat style. I'd like to keep all the wire the same brand, but I guess that's not priority. I'll be glad to hear anyones opinions/suggestions to get this budding phile up to speed. Thanks, Ken.
