That's why I put "...wiring all of your speakers." Interconnects and video cables can sometimes double what you spend on speaker cable if you buy them. I like to make my own interconnects. The cost is less than half per foot and you don't use any more than you actually need which can cut costs even more. I can make a very nice 1m pair of dual-shielded analog audio interconnects with Neutrik gold-plated connectors for about $7. Acoustic Research 1m pair is about $12. Since I only need about 1/2m, maybe a tad more, I can make the pair for about $5-$6. I think all my A/V cables (2 audio pairs and 3 composite video) cost me about $25, $30 tops, to make.
Compare that to about $50 for the AR cables at a local store in my town. Hey, I just saved myself enough to buy a new CD. Sure it took a bit more time to assemble and solder the cables but that's the fun part. As for the sound difference, I notice none whatsoever.
