I would suggest going to Radio Shack / Best Buy or similar to get low cost cables and interconnects to get you started playing music. Listen for a while (weeks) and then look here on the 'gon for used cables and interconnects within your budget. Listen and keep if you like, resell with little or no loss if you don't.
How to choose cables for my system
Hello all I would need advice on cables for my system. I just bought today a pair of B&W 803d that will work with a MC252 and a MX130 (both McIntosh came as gift-am a lucky guy!). I have no cables for the speakers, nor to connect the Mcs and the cd player (a veteran Yamaha CDX 1060). Am also new to the US so kindly help me make the system play. Would like to contain costs at reasonable levels/beginner. Am listening jazz, reggae, classical and any other good stuff.
Many thanks in advance for your suggestions and best wishes
