Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it

Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it

Good guess Jperry, a LMF 1. The Planar 3 could no doubt use a complete well and bearing clean-up which to do right is a major hassle.I did not know any current Shure or Ortofon Carts were in the 50u + of an xlm.Buconero, never heard of them , will...
