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.

Afc, I wish:

From Signal's site:
Eichmann Copper Bullet RCA Plugs - $30 additional (per pair of cables)
Oops. Sorry. I just got some custom made splitters from Signal. One into two split. Paid an extra 30 bucks for the connectors, but with the splitter cables, I got six of them....maybe they consider the three ended splitter cables a "pair" and I got six when you'd usually get four?
I really like the MAC (my audio cables) in my system i have 4 of them plus a PC. Cheap if you buy them off the Gon auctions.
The Anti-Cables with Eichmann terminations play way way above their weight class.

Is it just my system or have others found that when you run balanced cables to your amp(short or long) balanced cables don't seem to have as much sonic signature as regular RCA type inter connects?
