IC's from pre-pro to amp


Sugestions for cheap ic's to connect my processor to multi-ch pwr amp...looking for something neutral. Using monoprice now...don't hate me...I already feel bad enough about it. Thanks.

Thanks for suggestions people...The 40-60 dollar a pr new or prev owned is what I am budgeting. Thing is with prev owned is not getting them all at once. I would have quite a bit invested as I need seven singles (or 3 pr 1 single) from processor to amp...another eight (or 4 pr) for analog out of oppo 83 to pre....it adds up quickly. I might just go all Bluejeans as I could order custom lengths and pay a flat shpng for it all. I could then afford a 'better' set of stereo rca for the 2ch outs of oppo for stereo listening.
I have used and still have a few sets of Gold Series from the Shack...sound fine to me. Been plugged and unplugged a many times and have held up fine. Removing the screw on barrel reveals a good looking contact/construction and the cable itself is pretty beefy so I suppose shielded pretty well...never had hum issues of any sort. They cost a whopping 10 bucks a set/6ft...!
I ended up going to my "supply box" and getting all my Shack gold series mono cables. Had a boatload from the days when I had my Nak cass deck in the loop. At least this way I know all cables are the same between procc and multich amp as well as the 7.1 analog outs of br. Sounds as good as it did perhaps a bit more spacial. I swear sometimes the rig is processing prologic llx or another dsp...but it's playing direct 2ch stereo...it's that convincing. I guess that's a good thing.
