I saw this thread, immediately made an assumption, which proved correct when I read the thread. He's going to get many opinions, most of them different.

John421, I noticed that you mentioned the word budget, and I assume you are on one. It seems that this point has been missed by some. I've got a box of cables in the basement, and if I could take back some of the purchases, I would save myself the trouble and just get Morrow cables.

You didn't mention the components that make up your system, but you really can't go wrong with Morrow MA-1. They go on sale for 40 bucks quite often, and you'd have to spend significantly more to get better sonics in a cable. They have a 60 free trial, and make them to order.

I've recently ordered my third pair, a MA-3 pair. But I've also got the MA-1, and was impressed at how detailed they are. Good luck.
Not necessarily. A lesser cable could have a detrimental effect on a superior cable, that's what had happened to me. It looks like several posters have given suggestions of good cable that worked for them through trial and error.

I'd add that speaker cables can have the greatest benefit.
Okay, I think we'll have to beg to differ, but at least we agree that cables make a difference!
Like I said earlier John421, you're going to get lots of opinions and suggestions. It helps very little as the suggestions very so much. Start simple, get some speaker cables. I have Audioquest type 4, the type 8 listed above would probably be even better.

I forget what all you have, and how many cables you'd need, but if you go to the Morrowaudio.com, go to their products, then cables, then used cables. You can get trade ins for less as Morrow has a great trade in program. Get the MA2 or MA3 one meter length( 3 feet), a max of $140 per pair, unless they come with the upgraded Eichmann RCA connectors.

I'm sure Audioquest has come great RCA cables too, but at retail they will be expensive by comparison. But the solid conductor based cables really have wonderful sonics.
