Personally I feel that any audio or video system should have decent basic cabling to help reveal and allow your system to perform at its best. This also eliminates the chances of noise / interference invading your signal path.
Im looking at used cables on Audiogon total investment of $250.00, which is very a reasonable amount to spend in order to get proper shielding.
The last time I tried cheap interconnects (Radio shack or low end Monster) I was able to hear faint AM radio signals on my surround sound channels really no joke! Of course when I moved the surround components to the other side of the room it disappeared plus I ditched the 12 ft pair of cheap I.C.s (They cost me $6.95 at Radio shack.) When I spoke with the audio shop owner that sold me the surround processor, he agreed that it was probably an interconnect shielding problem.
