Which cable is most important to spend money on...

The way this is stated, which is all too common with many products - not ours particularly, it sounds like the RSAD cables compromised Grant's system and would most likely compromise most systems. Wouldn't it be a fairer statement to say a given competently designed product, RSAD cabling in this instance, didn't meet your personal tastes instead of the gist "they didn't work well with the system"? I'm sure we agree there's a world of difference between the former and the latter.

Yes. That's how I should have phrased it. Thought of changing the tone of the post to that effect, but I didn't.

Sorry if my post came off as unkind, Robert. It was not my intention.

You'll notice I never said RSAD cabling sucks. In fact, I believe just the opposite.

It is not important nor wise to spend serious amounts of money on cables of any sort until you've got the fundamentals (source components, amps, speakers, etc) of your system down. In the interim there are any number of sub $100 interconnects and equally low cost speaker cables and power cords that will more than suffice. As you can tell from the above discussions, once you get past the initial stuff nobody really knows which is most important. There are numerous opinions, but it's really one of those questions that doesn't have a correct answer.

Sorry if my post came off as unkind...

Na...I didn't take it as "unkind". Just a bit careless.

...It was not my intention.

I know.

I know. Hmmm...so you believe RSAD cabling skcus? I don't even know what the hell that means!

Onward to the thread topic....

Cheers!
