Interconnects: I have been using DIY interconnects from Allen Wright's "Super Cable Cookbook" for the last three years. the version I built use approximately 32 to 36 ga wire wrap wire (like magnet wire only with a plastic insulation) with Radio Shack RCA plugs. Silver wire or long grain wire would probably be better, but I did this on weekend with no planning and they sounded so good I do not want to change. Try long interconnects, short speaker wires. Get the book!!!! Allen is a genius.Speaker cables: I am using Nordost flatline, two leads per connection. Alopmost as good and one-half the cost is the "home theater" flat cable sold at Lowes (meant to go under wallpaper). Based on my experiments so far, Allen Wright's ribbon designs are probably better. I will try them next.
