For EVERY cable I've seen recommended, somebody stands up and says 'No, not in MY system!'
Silver this. Carbon that. Poly whatever. Oil soaked cotton over Teflon!
It is all opinion and wacky. I really wish I could put you to the test. Unless the cable has some very bad problems, I'd suspect failure to distinguish or 'chance' results.
At least reasonable advice to a newbie is to NOT spend a bundle and to buy fundamentals. Low resistance, inductance AND capacitance. That's as good a starting point as you'll find, and even that gets many persons hackles up.

You need to check the rules.

Note that your insistence on el cheapo cables is treading the line for this latter rule, and you could be banned at any time for it.
Don't like the rules, don't post here.
People do not need to be "saved from themselves", and no one elected you as the savior. Chill out or face the consequences.

Hi All,
I appreciate everyone's help in this discussion. It's amazing how much technology has evolved, and I understand there is reasonable debate about how much to spend. Honestly I'm pretty scared of the "basic low end stuff" and so I very much hear the comments. Additionally, I don't want to blow it out at the beginning, for two reasons
1) I want the ability to change out cables to improve the sound later - cheapest way to have a noticeable upgrade
2) I don't know enough and am likely to make a bad decision
I'm inclined to use a "brand name" kind of cable like Audioquest that has been recommended by several. I am going to check out DNM too. I understand I might be overspending by going with a brand name but I just don't feel like I know enough to assess alternatives.
Again, very helpful discussion. These boards have been priceless at helping me put together my dream system. I have found a way to wire the speakers with 15 feet each, possibly less, based on posters advice.
This was all great for me. Thank you.
