Hi all. The Yamaha has been sold, as well as the RTi70s, and the CSi40. All that's left are the 38's. Kingkip should have my LSi7's, and I just ordered the CarverAV505 amp from One Call. I'm planning on using a Technics Dolby Digital Processor for now, until I have enough money for a better pre/pro. How did I do?

I'm wondering, what audio cables should I get for the processor/amp? I was looking at some Dayton cables from Parts Express. I love their banana plugs I ordered a while back. Are their cables any good? What about Phoenix Gold cables? Some of their cables look like they'd offer incredible bang of the buck. After this upgrade, I'm not going to have a whole lot to spend on cables and other accessories, so I'm trying to find the best I can get for the money.

By the way, I'd like to just thank everyone on this board. I really appreciate all the help and advice. Thanks.

Thomas

    You can check out BlueJeansCable.com. They have very reasonable prices, are well made, and easy to get in & out without pulling any muscles or breaking the connectors!

    Thomas, the Dayton cables from Parts Express are well-constructed and well-shielded coaxial cables. They're reasonably priced and that's the maximum you should consider paying. Nothing better is available regardless of price.

    Calm down, F1. It's just an opinion. I'm sure there are better cables out there, but I think I'm going to go with the Dayton cables. Cfrizz, thanks for the bluejeancables link, though.
