Unfortunately a much better reply was lost when my browser crashed, so this will have to do. I've no completed the acquisition of the first group of tryout cables. Since OCC-type cables, and Vampire wire, had been highly recommended to me, I initially sought these out. This led to an unfortunate discovery--Vampire Wire no longer makes OCC cables. Bummer. The few other available OCC cables I was able to find are quite expensive for me, but I found one that was affordable: Liberty Cable. I also purchased some Van Den Hul bare OCC wire to make my own interconnects in the future.
I've also been grubbing around looking for deals for other cables to try. This led me to the idea of trying composite, component, and digital cables as audio interconnects. Should work like a charm. We will see. Ao this is what I have so far:
Liberty z-500
Tributaries A3 (x3 pairs)
Straight Wire Silver Link II (x3 singles)
monster Cable m850cv (2 sets of 3 leads = 3 audio pairs)
Straight wire concerto (? I think that is the name, 6 pairs)
Tributaries 5a (2 pairs)
I am looking at morrow audio, a pair of mid level vampire cables on evilbay, and some others as well. My main quandary, however, is finding OCC cables for the $50 range I've been aiming at. I think Liberty might be my only option.
