Hey Guys.You know the deal with a/v cables.I have looked at alot of interconnects as I am going to use all new cables for my system.It keeps leading me to custom makers to reduce all the clutter and avoid extra length(within reason) to stay clean as possible.I wish Cobalt Cable was still in business!!! I am looking at Blue Jean,Ram Electronics and even Emotiva.I would like to keep the cost as reasonable as possible and still get quality cable.I like the custom side as to really get the necessary lengths on all the interconnects.I like the Canare Quad speaker cabling.Length of run is not an issue here.Also,who went from rca's to xlr and was it a major improvement.I am out of electronic breath......Thanks, Eddie

    Make them yourself.DIY cables are an easy and fun project.You get the exact length you want and save a bundle of cash.Just a thought.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    +1. Very helpful and the custom lengths work great. He charges about 10 dollars more I think for custom work to be done which is not bad at all compared to some other places I talked to. Well built and made in the USA by a great guy to deal with.

    Another vote for Signal.
