Signal vs. Audio Art vs. Speltz Anti? Need help...

I'm looking to get an interconnect cable (between int. amp and cd player) and speaker wire at a budget. Has anyone compared two or all three of these brands? Has anyone heard anything better at the $100 and under range outside of these brands (that has compared them to any of these brands)?

I'm intentionally not mentioning what my system comprises (partially because I haven't bought the components yet), but mostly because I'm just looking for general comparisons and otehr people's experiences. Also, to circumvent anyone trying to tell me that it's all individual based on my system, I understand that, and for those who want to tell me to audition them first, I just don't have the patience for it. I just want to buy some cables based on general recommendations. If I'm really unhappy with them, I can try and upgrade or switch later on. No offense anyone, just being honest and trying to keep things simple. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

I have had Signal Silver ic's and speaker cable then Speltz's anti ic's and speaker cable now I am using Reality Cable. If your speakers are away from the back wall spend the extra and get the Reality Cable. If not then the Speltz cable is the best bargain. Imaging on the Reality cable is much better and speaker placement needs to be addressed.

I can only comment on Signal Cable. I got the Analog and Silver cables with Eichmann ends by Signal Cable and they were a disappointment in 2 systems. Try Silver Serpent by BetterCables.com, great detail and smooth with tight bass.

The Audio Art IC 3's are the best IC's under $100....BAR NONE.

They are not overpriced like other cable companies because of R&D. Talk to Rob and he will take care of you.

I would not use Signal cables in my system if they were free (I have and returned both their ic and pc.)
