Cable suggestions

I was looking for some options for my system. I have a Marantz 4120 amp, NAD 541 cd player, and a set of B&W 602 s2 speakers. I am looking for suggestions for interconnects and speaker cables. I was also thinking about biwiring the speakers (depending on the cost). I am on a budget. 50 or so for the speaker cables and 25 or so for the interconnects. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Find some used Audioquest for the speakers. You should be able to find some Green, Type 4, or maybe some Type 6 at that price for short lengths. I have no idea other than Monster for ICs at that price. Whatever you end up with, give it time to break in before forming an opinion.

Good luck.

The only cable I can think of in that price range, other than Monster Cable, is the AudioQuest Sidewinder for $24.95 a 0.5 m. By increasing your price range to $100 you greatly expand the options available. You could try Home Grown Audio Super Silver ($79.95), Mapleshade Clearview ($69.00), Kimber PBJ ($84.00), and AudioQuest Cooperhead ($49.95) and Diamondback ($89.95). If you shop around you can probably find more expensive cables from these same manufacturers used. Another suggestion is to contact The Cable Company (www.fatwyre.com) and give them your price range and associated equipment. They are very helpful and can probably find something for you.
