I need cables to run from my preouts of my AVR to my Marantz external amplifer inputs. Do I need Digital Coax cables or Analog Interconnects for this hookup? Will they serve the same purpose or is one better then the other?? I was planning on ordering them from the Signal cables website. Just want to make sure I get the right ones.

    If you are ordering from Signal, you are going to want the Analogs. I would go with the Analog II, but that's just me.:D

    I have some analog II's I may be throwing up for sale soon. They're 14' in length though.

    Digital caox cables are designed for a digital transfer. Like connecting Dvd player to a receiver. Analog is what you need.

    Thanks but I really only need about 3 feet in length for each cable.;)
