Pete: IMO, the best interconnects are those that do not add colorations to the signal. They allow the good (and the bad) of one's electronics to come through. I have been surprised by how rare this quality is among some megabuck cables I listened to. I have had excellent results with Emotiva X series interconnects, http://emotiva.com/interconnects.shtm which to my ears seem very neutral and to my pocketbook seem very reasonable priced. In my system, they beat the pants off, e.g., Nordost Blue Heaven and my own home made silver core cables. Emotiva, like Blue Jeans, lets you return cables you don't like; this makes it possible to use your own ears to judge the results, a process I highly recommend to you. Do not buy unless you have satisfied yourself that you're getting the results you want! Best luck in your quest!
