New to the game, looking for help on this system


Being new to this, I need some help with interconnects, video/audio & speaker cables that might match this beginners, somewhat outdated system. It is being used mainly for home theatre use vs music, but both are important. I'll probably post this on VideoGon also for the video end, but all comments welcome.

Acurus A125x5
Lexicon DC-1 with all firmware upgrades
NHT 6.2 Ci (front)
NHT SuperZero(rear surround)
NHT SW2Si

Kenwood Sovereign (400 disk with DcDi by Faroudja)
Mitsubishi Diamond 65" with 9"CRTs(2004 model)
DVR with HD
SVHS for the kids stuff

Thanks ahead of time!

Holy cow, he's stumped Rush! That's a first. We should all be struggling with our analog like my friend, Rushton!

Ghorton, go with Coax over Toslink every time. Toslink isn't on all gear, so it might limit your options if you ever upgrade. Coax cables can be digital(1 cable) or analog(sold in pairs--i.e. traditional audio interconnects). Make sure that you discuss with the seller what you are hooking up, just to be safe.
One followup on Kimberkable; some of their products are unshielded and meant strictly for audio use. Be careful not to put unshielded cables near TV. Any cable they label for home theatre/video use should be fine. Nice stuff.
Another brand that provides excellent value, especially at the lower price points is www.signalcable.com. They sell direct only. Have fun,
