recommendation for best low cost rca interconnect

I have tried many including Signal, Rat Shack and others. The best I have heard under $250 are the Art Audio IC-3's. Only $69 new. They bested cables in my system costing up to $700 new. Without naming brands I had three different high end cables costing $500 - $800 new and the Art Audio IC-3's were every bit as good and in some ways better - open and extended.

I own many sets and use them for my HT set up. I use Audio Horizons/Component Plus IC's for two channel. They bested the IC-3's, but cost $250- $300 new.

Confident you wont do better for $69. A no brainer of a find. I think they have a money back guarantee also.

Ok Oldpet,

Audio Art IC-3 as good or bested these. They cost $69. I know some folks will say I am nuts, but I have owned these and have heard with my own ears after break-in.

Tara Labs Air 1
Luminous Audio line - various
Tom Evans Groove Tube
Z Squared Gold Au/Au
Audience AU24
Kimber KS1010
Granite Audio 470 silver IC

The Audio Horizons Transparancy IC's are the best I have ever heard. They are built by Joseph Chow and are out of this world. They surpased these big $$$ cables I have also owned. I mean surpassed. They cost $250 for a one meter RCA. I plan on writing a review when I get a moment.

Kimber Select 1130 - $1400 cable
Jena Labs Symphony - $1100 cable

Listener57,

Your questions are perfectly stated and my response mirrors your comments regarding real improvement 100%. This is not a flavor change. I use the Audio Horizons Transparancy IC's
from CD player to preamp and from my preamp to amp. I use them on both a tube and SS amp. Perfectly balanced from top to bottom with no flaws. Every wire I have owned over time shows some flaw or bias. This one does not. I will post a full review when I get more time to put my thoughts together. I listened last night and this is what my mind kept saying about the experience. One-liners here.
- it sounded like music -not reproduced music from electronics
- instrument sounds came from a dead quiet background and were presented effortlessly and utterly transparant
- wall of sound
- fully balanced stage and presentation
- no flaws
- never have I heard such deep, powerful and tuneful bass - never
- the two IC's made the above comments far more obvious then one IC on the source
-I need to get the speaker cables

From one A'phile to the rest of you. These are a must try.

Bill
