10 percent for cables ???
thank you all very much. i wasn't concerned so much with the exact percentage per se, but as stated above 10% seemed to be a good guidline as any more and one might want to begin looking into upgrading components(and then cables, and then componen... 
which speaker cables to buy?
i too have been looking into budget minded quality cables. i was drawn to the elf, yacco, kimber tc's, and goertz. i used the anti's in a previous system and they were very good. currently i am using all blue jean cables. but, we just put together...

Digital Cable - Pixelization during motion
as i understand it, cable companies can only send so much information over their lines. they have phone, internet, cable tv, etc, running over outdated and extremely long feeding lines. satellite, which i can't get, supposably(suppossedly?), has a...
