What is the difference in function between interconnects and cables? I understand there may be a quality difference between products called interconnects and ones called cables, but they preform the same function, right?

I think cables refer to cables for speakers and interconnects refers to cabling between components ie: a cable between an amp and pre-amp."They're always talking about my drinking, but never mention my thirst" Oscar Wilde
Pre-Amp: Anthem AVM 20
Amp: Carver TFM-35
Amp: Rotel RB-870BX

Bluray: Oppo BDP-93
Speaker Cables: MIT Terminater
Interconnect Cables:DH Labs Silver Sonic BL-1isonic -
IC = interconnect cables = interconnects = cables
not to be confused with speaker cables2-Channel - So far...
Pre: Dodd ELP
DAC: W4S-Dac2

Speakers: LSi9s - Vr3 Fortress Mod -
IC = interconnect cables = interconnects = cables
And,
IC = integrated circuit
That is the first translation my brain does when I see 'IC' in a sentence. Then it goes to the cable definition. :rolleyes:Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable

Ok, thank you. I'm used to calling interconnect cables by their connection type, i.e. HDMI, component, RCA, etc.
