morrow may make decent cables, i don’t know as i haven’t personally tried them, but once a few years back i made a casual inquiry, and thereafter i have been absolutely bombarded with their marketing emails... sheesh... thank goodness for spam filters...
Quality 1 meter RCA Interconnects under $100?
Looking to now upgrade my interconnect cables a bit after finally piecing together a basic system. Cannot afford more than this right now. I have one pair of the Blue Jeans, a pair of Walter’s silver series, and need a 3rd pair now. I have been seeing many "suppliers" out there. Morrow (maybe level 2 or 3 series w/ their basic RCA?), Audioquest, Blue Jeans, more of Walter’s, etc.
Questions:
Should I ideally be using all the same interconnects?
Any recommendations on brands, models & type of cable e.g. Belden, Mogami, etc?
I am open to used cables, quality "DIYers", etc. if you all have any contact info.
Trust any of the "DIYers" on ebay?
I would greatly appreciate any recommendations/advice! I’d like to keep a pair of 1 meter under $100, but willing have to stretch a bit if it is worth it...
Much appreciated!

A lot of good buzz on Zavfino cables. A little out of your price range but for a OCC cable they are reasonable. I have their speaker cable and it is wonderful. https://zavfinousa.com/collections/audio-interconnects |
I'll offer this, IF you can get away without shielding do it. I use a weave that works well. It is VERY dynamic and quiet because of the way it's woven. What I use takes a while to break in, but when it does, it's a very good cable. OCC with mill spec .99 silver clad and PTFE multi conductor. The Helix (DIY) is a serious contender for high quality RCAs too. williewonka (sp) Regards |

For a 1m RCA pair you are not going to do any better than Audio Envy for $125. https://audioenvy.com/product/home-car-pro-interconnects/prestige-g9-rca-pair/ |
Cullen Cable offer good value and you can try them at home... https://www.cullencable.com/copper-series-interconnect/ |

You have to trust me on this. I use these because they are transparent and clean. I have compared them to cables costing up to $500. They are not made anymore and hard to find. They have to be the metal plug version. https://www.camcor.com/cat/Belkin-PureAV-RCA-Audio-Cable-AV20302-06.html |
