i have an old 80s receiver that after 30 years still reproduces great audio quality. but it has no digital ports which sucks. That means I'm stuck with RCAs. anyone know a good pair of RCA cables under $50?

I, too, would go with the Evergreens. Blue Jeans Cable is another solid choice, but they can be a bit more awkward to handle compared to AudioQuest (less flexible, large plugs). Big plus there is custom lengths, different cable options etc., plus quick shipping and great support.

Agree. Blue Jeans Cable are a great price/performance value.

Audioquest G-Snakes are on closeout price at Crutchfield. I own some (bought them at that discount). But I wouldn't pay full retail for Audioquest.

Blue Jeans LC-1.  I have a ton of interconnects, including some that are custom made for me and some that are just plain expensive.  The Blue Jeans interconnects are by fare the best combination of price and performance.  Same goes for their speaker cables.

The Chinese ribbon-type "silver" interconnects (on ebay) are stupid good for the money. The wire is usually advertised as 80% silver or 88% silver. We're talking ~$18-$24 a meter.
