Need some CHEAP audio cables from NAD C326BEE to PSB Image B6 speakers+interconnects from HRT to NAD

Have read about Anti-cables.  Cost around $10/foot and highly reviewed by entities like Absolute Sound.  Need to find something like that unless those are best at that price.  Need custom lengths as one speaker will be about 3ft from amp and other about 10ft from amp.  Paul & Judy at Anti-cables will make them up any length.  Just wondered if anyone knew of any better ones at this cost.

 

Also want some 'good' interconnect RCA's to run from an HRT Music Streamer II to the NAD.

I am under the impression that speaker cables should be of equal length, even if the distance from amp-to-speaker is different for each channel. I assume this is an impedance thing (?).

Here is what Judy Speltz from Anti-cables told me and yes it was to do with impedence.  I had told her I needed the different lengths and while one route was to run two equal lengths, it would leave about 6 or 7 ft just coiled up in the floor.  They came up with a way to run the different lengths, but match the impedence.

 

 

One of the benefits to our cables is that you can order different lengths. There is no benefit to having 5 extra feet coiled behind your speakers. That in itself can cause disruption of current flow.  Having the longer wires twisted, it cancels out the inductance, so what we are doing with twisting the long cable is trying to keep the inductance low to match the 3ft set.

 

Other than the solution that the Speltz's came up with, I would probably have to buy equal lengths.
