I'm going to be adding a Cinenova Grande 7 channel amp ( I got it CFrizz 
) to my set up in the coming weeks and need to run some newbie questions by the folks that have power amps. The cinenova will be connected to a Pioneer Elite VSX72TXV which has preouts. I was thinking about going with the Blue Jeans cable connector http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/6channel/index.htm and wanted to verify that this will do the job. Also on the newbie front, all I need to do is connect the preouts from the AVR to the RCA inputs on the Cinenova, hook up the speakers to the Cinenova and I should be golden right? Also the Blue Jeans cable is going to cost somewhere near $276.00 do you have any recommendations for other multichannel RCA's in this price range?

$120 for a set of seven Analog One's...I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore -
Yep, that's all you need to do.
Other brands in that price range would be cat cable, signal cable, and better cables. I'm sure others will have more suggestions.
Congrats and let us know what you think of that amp! -
Good stuff! If you don't mind me asking, where did you find the best deal? Also, from not reading your previous threads, what r your speakers?
Thanks -
Sorry, just saw your system, no need to reply.

Congrats Sab!
I just use these BJC 1505F in red & white pairs. Works great, didn't cost as much as what you are going to pay.
Belden 1505F:
Belden 1505F is another excellent choice for analog audio; it is smaller in profile than LC-1 (.242 inch diameter versus .305), has double-braid shielding, and is higher in capacitance (17 pF/ft) but lower in price.

GunnerG, certainly you shouldn't be getting any recommendations even remotely in a $276 price range to simply connect preouts to a separate amplifier. Apparently although your amplifier has seven channels you're going to be connecting just six, so two 3-cable sets such as these from MonoPrice would be a far more reasonably-priced connection. I and many others on this board and elsewhere who're aware that there's no correlation between price and sound quality for these items have used this source with satisfaction and have been able to use the money saved for something that'll make a difference.

However, I and many others on this board and elsewhere that do know the benefits of better cables, far out numbers idiots like you.Political Correctness'.........defined

In this case Mox it's justified. JohnK's elevator doesn't go all the way to the top as far as audio is concerned.
He is more focused on measurements & numbers & couldn't care less how it sounds. If it isn't supported by the above then he says that it's useless!:eek: :eek:
Audio is confusing enough to newbies without JohnK leading them in the wrong direction.
So Jesse is just doing what's necessary to protect newbies from JohnK, & he is not the only one to do so!F! i see your playing nice with someone else over here.Marantz AV-7705 PrePro, Classé 5 channel 200wpc Amp, Oppo 103 BluRay, Rotel RCD-1072 CDP, Sony XBR-49X800E TV, Polk S60 Main Speakers, Polk ES30 Center Channel, Polk S15 Surround Speakers SVS SB12-NSD x2 -
Should be fine for you.

Monoprice interconnects sounded like crap compared to my Goertz Alpha Core Silver Micro Purl Interconnects. Night and day difference. The only cables I'd use from monoprice are their optical or digital coax.
I'll be looking for a 5 channel set soon, I never realized SignalCable or Blue Jean's had matched sets like that, I'm glad I read this thread."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster.

Well I went with the signal cable. If there's better cables out there I'll upgrade in the future but for now (Not to quote Mc D's) I'm lovin it
