Here we go! In this corner, lets get ready to rumble!!!! Cables? I have a pair of Discovery interconnects that cost over 300$ I got in a trade that sit in the drawer. I use Radio Shack orange cables cause they were on sale 20$ for 15 foot length. Look in your local shack, they may have some hidden behind those crappy new ones, I found three pairs, they sound great. Also Zalytron sells this Axon cable 3:00$ a foot and they have these really good looking well built RCA plugs for 5$ a pair. Sound very good between the CD and pre-amp. Speaker cables Circuit City 16ga. stranded audio cable. Thank you Mr. Moderator.
