DIY RCA interconnects?
High quality, inexpensive RCA connectors:
- Switchcraft 3502A (_not 3502_, 3502A - under $2.00 U.S.)
- Canare F-09 (under $4.00, but good looking and they come with a spring strain relief)
- Neutrik Rean NYS373 (under $2.00)
- I've never used Amphenols, but their reputation is good.
High quality, inexpensive, flexible interconnect cable that comes in colors:
- Canare L-4E6S (shielded 4 conductor star quad, currently $0.54 per foot at Markertek)
- Canare L-2T2S (shielded twisted pair, currently $0.55 per foot at Markertek)
You can put together a pair of 3 foot interconnects for about $15.00. You can buy comparable quality ready made cables for about the same, but making your own can be fun and satisfying.
As for speaker cables, I'm a 14 gauge zip cord guy.
