If you're curious about going old school, look at 10 gauge Blue Jeans Cables at a little more than a couple of bucks a foot would be worth a comparison.
Budget re-cabling
I am considering re-cabling (changing out receiver, SACD player) on the main room system (5.1 and 2.1).
Front: B&W Nautilus 804 Center: B&W HTM61 S2 Rear: temporary Infinity Reference 2 or Dayton 2 way.
HDMI Oppo 103 to Onkyo TX-RZ810: if critical at all, budget $30 or so?
Cables: new speaker for front/center. 10ft left/right each, 6 ft center (or 25 total). Budget $5-$6 per foot (may consider suggestions up to $10 there is something to gain).
I know this budget is mind bogglingly high (never spent that kind of money on cables, but want to go all out).
So what are the best speaker cables for way below $10/ft? Good comparison tests (with price in mind)? Maybe comparison with 'DIY' or 'Repurposed' (using commercial cable repurposed for audio)? Links? Read ups?
NOT INTERESTED IN PIXEL DUST and ESOTHERIC CABLES.

I've been having a great experience with a brand called "World's Best Cables" shopping on Amazon. They give you choices for a lot of combination of cable and connector. I've replaced most or my older cables with this brand and they are not expensive. Probably the same price if I tried to buy the components and their assembly process may be superior to the home hobbyist. |
@richardmathes I have heard of Blue Jeans Cables. Any specific that offer best bang/buck and low buck? |
@lanx0003 Do you have a link to the full acrticle for the table? I assume the Mogami W2534 below is using (as speaker cable) two wires. And all leads plus the shield twirled/connected together into a connector? Or are those interconnect cable comparisons? (I have seen the Belden 8402 pre configured with RCA on ebay).
