  What are the alternatives for Kimber and Cardas?
My first choice interconnects for my gear is Kimber Kable Select 1021 rca, then the second is Cardas Gold Reference rca. What would be a third comparable rca interconnect that I should look for if my budget is strained? Gear: Plinius M8 Pre amp, Plinius SA 102 amp, Oppo 83 SE Nu Force edition.

Ballan has a good suggestion and a good point.

Kimber and Cardas are two solid products.

I have found over the years that many cables sound really terrific, and the pool of potentially satisfying possibilities is fairly robust.

I have come to the conclusion that if one is going to shell out large dollars for wire, the safest bet from a standpoint of strong residual value is to buy products that are in constant demand.

If this idea carries any weight with you, then take a look at the classifieds to see which cable companies have a strong list of items for sale, and follow newly listed items to see how long they stay on the market.

Some other options are Shunyata, Analysis Plus, MIT and Kubala-Sosna (no particular recommendation here from me...it's all too predicated on user preference).
