Question...

I have 5 Monster Cable Reference 2 1m interconnects connecting my amplifier to my pre/pro and 5 Reference 2's connecting analogs from my XA2 HD DVD player to my pre/pro. I need one cable to cover the .1 LFE.

From my sub to my pre/pro I use an 8' Monster Cable M1000i subwoofer interconnect. To keep things consistent, should I stick with another Reference 2 cable to cover the .1 LFE connection between the pre/pro and HD DVD player or would you suggest something else?

I hate buying a pair of cables when only '1' is needed! :mad:

Thanks!

    If you have booms coming out of your sub, then you are all set!

    You need one more cable or you can drop the 5.1 outputs from the HD-DVD and go straight analog or digital to save money.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    I would guess the sub analog IC is probably the least discriminate of all 6. So, get a cheap singe RCA somewhere and try it out, or post what length you need here and I'm sure someone can hook you up (literally) for very cheap.
