Which link is most important?


I have only one pair of good interconnects (all others are Radio Shack specials). Is it better to use them between CD player and pre or between pre and amp? Also, my "good" interconnects are actually Apogee Wyde Eye's, which are supposed to be digital cables, but I'm using them for analog. This should work okay, yes? Finally, recommendations of good used interconnects for around $25/per ($50/per at most) would be great.

Joseph Audio RM22si speakers
Denon AVR1700 receiver (pre, hopefully upgrade soon)
Kimber 8TC biwire
McIntosh MC-2105 (just bought brand used, on its way!)

Thanks.

I would suggest these:

At $35 each, or 3 pair for $90 you can't beat them for the price, a whole lot of cable for the money, I'd take them over many $100plus ICs I've heard....

Where it my system, in the interm I would go to Target and buy a set of "RCA" brand shielded IC's for about $10 a 6' pair. Getting rid of the IC that came with your VCR for a shielded IC will be a dramatic change even in a modest system.

As to where to put your one good IC on, why not just try both locations and see what works best for your ears, you are the only one that has to listen to it, afterall....
