Hello Team....
 
New here.... I use to be big in to audio years back and sort of drooped out of it due to work...
 
Now I am back again and I am trying to catch up but there is so much sense 2000!!! :D
 
What RCA Audio Cables are the best for the money? Money is not an obstacle.
 
 Right now I bought a Xonar Essence STX and Corsair Gaming Audio Series SP2500.
 
I also bought a set of OP-AMPS base on some reviews here: LME49720NA/NOPB & LME49860NA/NOPB
 
I am open to any recommendations.
 
Thank you!

I agree with the video. Blue Jeans Cable would be the most you should worry about spending. But the Tartan cables work well if you want to spend less. I think the advantage of the Blue Jeans is the build quality--better durability. If you want better sound after that, best to spend your money upgrading your speakers :)

Ah! Thanks for the advice. What do you recommend base on your experience for speakers?
 
Thanks.

Depends on what your budget is. The point is that people will often spend a lot of money on cables, when the Monoprice or Tartan ones may work just as well. Better to save money toward future speaker upgrades :)

Looks like the M5 are very popular...
 
I might go with them.
 
I just order my RCA from Blue Jeans.

So last night I installed the LME49860N and now I am burning it in. There is a big difference on music for sure.... Though I am not sure this one is for me. I have some new op-amps on the way. Should be here tomorrow... Will update my thoughts...
