Re: I does not take alot of money! A poor mans system..

Ah, good job! Sounds like you tried the old packing tape ICs... if you have more patience, you could also try these http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/diyce2.html These make great speaker cables too http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/ubyte2e.html Belden 89259 is a good US cable to use as there aren't any domestic cables that use a solid foil shield (and, is suppose to cut costs, the Brit cable started using ultra thin foil that disintigrates too easily... progress /_-) unless you get into flexible heliax from Andrew or Cablewave. In a pinch, you could probably grab a 40 foot roll of Monster cable tv hookup/extension cable (the kind with UHF screw on connectors) and hack that up to make 2 8-10 ft cables... the jacket isn't teflon but the cable itself isn't half bad (not tweak perfection, but easily available and cheaper than a whole 100' roll of 89259,.. their UHF cable is not nearly the rip-off their audio cables are). For interconnect, may I recommend the Sonic Frontiers locking RCA and the Deltron plugs pictured on my old plug page http://members.cox.net/yuzuha/plugs.html Chris and John over in the cable section are sure to have other recommendations for DIY IC and speaker cables.
