Cables, Interconnects and More Cables???


I am trying to upgrade my system cables on a limited budget and I'm curious where the best overall values are into todays market. I have an Ah! Tjoeb CD Player into a Rotel RA-971 preamp into a Rotel RB-981 power amp driving B&W 603's and a B&W ASW 2000 sub. I have been using older Audioquest cables and its time to upgrade. Whats the word?

Dcaseyb: Cost / Performance champions MIT 2. Do allow good break in time. At the cost you might get them and depending on $$$ in your mind for budget, use the left out money for power conditioning (do you have already a power cond). What about a new wall plate like hospital grade Hubbell. If your wall plate and breakers(DONĀ“T OVERLOOK THEM!!) are old they do increase resistance. Good luck
I agree with Rockvirgo! Anybody tried A-B compairing the cheap RS cables with your "favorite" multy $$ cable? I bet you would be surprised. And i bet you wouldn't know the difference.
I thought everybody compared cheap cables with expensive cables...I bet if you stood out in the rain long enough, you'd see why it's better to go indoors...
Interesting Carl. But once inside you would have to decide which would get you drier, Egyptian hand woven cotton or Seacrest.
I do in fact keep a $40 pair of Straightwire Chorus cables to help evaluate new cables, and isolate differences that occur compared to higher priced models. I can EASILY hear the difference between say HT Truthlink $250 and Chorus $40, MUCH more detail and 3D resolution. Of course there comes a point where more cost buys little improvement, and thus becomes a relative waste of money, but if you use generic Radio Shack cable you are leaving a lot of sound on the table.......regards Sam
