Low-cost I/C's


I have a couple of low cost I/C's in mind and would appreciate opinions and suggestions of anything better for the money. Under $40.00 is best.
I don't like silver plated wire, molded connectors, or I/C's which add colorations. Length is 0.5 meter.

I'm interested to know if anyone has compared the Gotham Audio GAC-4/1 mic cable with the similar Mogami 2534, and if any differences were observed, what were they?
Keep in mind that the short length you are specifying will minimize most cable effects and cable differences

This is a good point. So probably getting a good terminal like Eichmann would be more important that the I/C itself?
I think Signal uses Eichmann. Perhaps standard or as an option, I don't recall.
I second Bluejean Cables. They are great cables and value for the money. I compared them to a high end cable that I owned and heard no difference so I switched.
Check out Monoprice.com. I've bought cables from them before when I've been experimenting, or to get temporary cables for a system reconfiguration before buying 'better' cables, and in some cases I never bought the 'better' cables because the Monoprices' were just fine.
