Hi -
First off - I used the search, so please don't flame me!!! I also know there is a seperate forum for setup - but it really doesn't have the action that this one does, so I am suspicious of the pool of opinions.
It's just that there are so many choices for interconnect cables, and so many snake oil peddlers in this field.
I would love to know some suggestions for a good 5 cable set - not 100% perfet and $500 bucks a cable - but a set that gets you most of the way there without breaking the bank. In my budget BetterCables (even the Silver Serpent, at $50 a pop) are breaking the bank - $250 is some serious cash for cables!
I have had the following brands suggested (prices of a 5 cable set in brackets):
- Heartland [$125 with Eichmann bullet plugs, sleeved]
- Blue Jeans [$66 color coded and sleeved]
- Cat Cables [$110 for Cablecats, $180 for Bluetigers]
- Better Cables Silver Serpent [about $250] (shout out to forum sponsor)
- Cobalt Cables [136, color coded and sleeved]
Any opinions (as if there aren't!) on something like the Blue Jeans cables for less than $70 are as good as Heartland cables costing twice as much, or Bettercables costing four times as much?
Thanks a ton!
