Reasonable but not outragious interconnects


Hi,

Can you all please give me some recommendations on rca interconnects lets say in the $50-$75 per pair range for 3’? 

I have the new b&w 804 d3’s, Classe amp and Marantz pre amp. I’m not looking for $200/ft cables. Just something decent and reasonable. I know a lot of people on this forum go super expensive. I will admit I am running monoprice cables on it now and it sounds really good but I think I could get the little bit more out of this system with better. 

Thanks

From a purely technical standpoint the two considerations with interconnects are the the connectors and whether or not the cable is shielded. All else is snake oil. The problem with most bundled, non-DIY cables such as some of the ones named above is they usually have OK but not great connectors. If you can at all use a soldering iron then opt for high end connectors and shielded cable such as star quad microphone cable. Finally, have you thought of the most neglected, cheapest tweaks for cables: have you cleaned the connectors and jacks lately? Caig DeOxit is one of an audio hobbyist's best friends.
