How many quality interconnects to I need ?

I have a separate component system- amp,pre-amp, cd player, FM tuner, turntable.

My best set of interconnects are from RS Audio that are used to connect the CD player to the pre-amp (Parasound Halo P3).

I've read so many commentaries on interconnects, some which cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Does this mean every component must be connected with such expensive wire ? Or are the highest quality interconnects placed at the source with lesser quality wires elsewhere ?

I have not read a single review of any interconnect that specifies where it was placed in the test system . Any comments ? Thanks in advance....

Fredman,

These topics appear here every day. The quality of interconnects realy doesn't depend on price. The pricey ones just look nice but offer nearly the same as RadioShack Gold or generic Monster ones. If you apply some little DIY skills you can get parts from www.newark.com MCM brand wire $7/9' + MCM solderless locking RCA with wire clamp you can build yourself interconnect that will have a great performance even less pricey than RadioShack Gold.
If you go this way you will save a tremendous money for music or better components.
