I can recommend Mark Grant's cables and use them (maninly) in my set up

I've dug out a rough guide if your up for reading the incredibly dull.... See attached file....

Canare connectors (the RCA type) do have the advantage of almost being 75 Ohm, I've not seen another RCA that comes anwhere close to 75 Ohm, now whether that makes any difference or not I won;lt get drawn into...
You would be surprised how many "audio interconnects" require matched connectors...... No-one mentioned "analogue", that would have been a bit closer to what you are describing. Digital audio needs to get from a to B as well of course (I'm pulling your leg now!)Chippy99 said:There's no need to get drawn into it, because its not even open to debate:
The OP was asking about audio interconnects. Since that isn't even a 75 Ohm connection, then whether the plugs are 75 Ohm is a bit irrelevant, isn't it.
For *digital* or *video* connections, yes its debatable. But for audio? No. It makes no differece, period.

I must say that for digital or video connections it is very very relevent. What you say is far too sweeping for me not to comment on......

Nic Rhodes said:My solution is to use BNCs where ever possible for video and digital (75 ohm ones) activities.
GrahamMG said:Nope.....
Thunder sums it up nicely, nothing exotic just good cable, good connectors terminated properly is all anyone needs......
rdhir said:Hello,
Although there is a cable forum which I have been reading and I think I will now make my own mains cable and save the money I was going to spend on a Van Den Hul Mainstream on a proper mains regeneration system...
I was kind of wondering what people were using for a mains lead and what they thought they had got best results from?
I would also like to know what people use as the pre/power amp interconnect?
Cheers

Chippy99 said:The OP was talking about analogue audio, which as I said is not impedance matched, so the idea of using an impedance matched interconnect is irrelevant and potty.
You said it doesn't matter for analogue audio, but it does for digital and for video.
I think you will find that's *exactly* what I said in the first place.

Please read the posts carefully as Alexs2 has pointed out.
I certianly did not say that "it doesn't matter for analogue audio" at all..... Connectors and their correct assembly always matter.
What you say is your opinion of which you are entitled, I am saying that it is too sweeping to not comment on...... Some elements of what you say have merit, some others may not..... Please accept that the more informed a person is the less likely they are to use words like "irrelevent and potty" when previous posts didn't really warrent it eh?
Off out to have a beer now in the sunshine
Chippy99 said:Graham, you are being condescending.... and argumentative for that matter.
Impedence matching of analogue interconnects IS irrelevant and potty. I think that sums it up quite nicely. People can debate it all they like, but they will be wasting their time.
