Bronze Member Username: Juggy_25Post Number: 36 Registered: Apr-06 | I am confused with all the different brands of Interconnects available. Could you suggest a reasonable brand which doesnt compromise on quality? Berny, you had mentioned Blue Jeans. Their website looks very honest, compared to the other brands. Cud a review be given on Blue Jeans Cables? |

As far as affecting the sound, I really can't tell you as I did not hear a difference from Monster cable and Acoustic research. Monster cables I get for less than half off so I can't complain, but I prefer the construction of Blue Jeans Cable and Kimber. You could also make your own by using Canare and Belden. Put those in a search engine and you can hit a lot of DIY cable hobbyists. |

Two things are very true, however. Interconnects and cables make a difference, and 99% of stock cables are shite. Try this site as well. http://www.tnt-audio.com/accessories/accessories.html |

Mark-up pricing? You have to trust that there will always be companies willing to trade profit margins to earn business. Cheap cables that end up being high quality is a smart business practice. It's naive to think people don't want to follow that. |

BTW, coax is much better solution to interconnects than shielded, braided wire. |
