Decent starter cables?


I'm new to Audiogon and new to hifi. I'm looking for some direction/suggestions for speaker cables and component interconnects. I'm not looking to spend big money on cables, just something decent.

I apologize ahead of time since this question has probably been brought up countless times...

By "starter" cables, I assume you mean as inexpensive as you can find, but still good. With that understanding, the Kimber 4vs speaker cable recommended above is fine. You might be able to find it used for $1.50 a foot. The Kimber PBJ and Hero interconnects are also fine, as are any of the less expensive Audioquest cables, but you can buy Mogami interconnects from some pro electronics stores that are also ok for alot less money. Mogami also makes a coaxial speaker cable, the 3082, that is excellent and very cheap. Someone here regularly recommends Canare star quad speaker cable, also very inexpensive. Pro-electronics stores or maybe on-line.

Where are you located?
