IC's from pre-pro to amp

Audio Art does a most capable job in my likewise scenario. It'll take stepping up a good ways to realize anything significant by way of improvement over them. About $100 pair or there abouts.

MIT Shotgun S2, and then HT Magidc IIs are where I noticed significant gains over the AA cables... and they go for about $800 a set or so.

They'll do well in either audio or films.

Not kidding, try Radio Shack relatively new Auvio brand interconnects. I am currently using in place of mid and entry level Audioquest, Monster and XLO. Really well balanced and neutral sounding wires.

Not sure how cheap is cheap but look at the lowest price Kubala Sosna. Not only are they bound to be great cables for the money, they also have a unbelievable upgrade policy where I think you get like 80 to 90 % on trade up to better cables in there lineup. That is impressive. The also have a great no questions asked return policy I think. I am doing a demo now on there two top models and am so far impressed. I may have to go with the cheaper one due to price and maybe upgrade later.

Another more straight forward, read less rounded and more resolute sound, are the Goertz Micro Pearls. I use a pair myself.

Skinny little nothing cables that really perform over their heads. I paid $60-$70 for a 1.5M pr.

The only knock on them is I feel their common isn't very good, or maybe better said, their shielding can at times, with 'some' devices allow a bit of hum or other artifacts. Every place I could put them worked great but one. that might have been as a main ic on my tube gear, pre to amp... sorry, not sure.

But for the performance to price of $60-70 bucks? they're a slam dunk, clean and resolute wire that has near no shortcomings audibly. They sure suprised me.

Former Stereophile budget component, Class B? definitely worth looking into if the application isn't into a bright sounding rig already.
