I'm purchasing an SVS tomorrow, and I'm considering whether to buy the interconnect that can come with it, has anyone had any experience with Better Cable? My other thought was the Dayton Audio Subwoofer Cable
The Dayton runs about 13 bucks, while the Better Cables will run me about 50 bucks, does anybody have experience with either cable or any advice? I haven't had much experience with Shielded subwoofer cable (I've been using Acoustic Research cable , but I'm giving it off, so it's not much of an option) Thanks guys,
Matt

Matt, Better is good, but it isn't better. A cable which is simply carrying a low voltage 20-100Hz analog signal 25 feet has about the easiest job in all of audio and no mysterious qualities are needed. There's no good reason to pay the ridiculous price that Better charges(or even the reduced price offered by SVS). Your comment about the AR cable wasn't entirely clear, but if you mean that you already have one that's long enough, there's no need for anything else. If not, the Dayton cable would be fine, or something even slightly less expensive, such as this one from Triangle .
