Well with tons of research on the subject of wire, I finished with the following. I bought Belden 1694a wire with Canare 75 ohm RCA connections. This wire will be used for my Component video wire, and got a 20 ft. sub wire for a mere $18.50!! LOL! I have been promissed it will do the job! After all I read, I believe it will!
Funny thing is, in the search for speaker wire, I also read things about up-graded power cords to their reciever and Subwoofers making a sound difference! For the better of course! Does this hobby ever stop? LOL!!

Oak244,

After your setup is done, erase ANY hifi/home theater bookmarks as fast as you can, and cancel your AV magazine subscriptions. This hobby can get positively sick, and you can be blowing obscene amounts of money on separate CD transports and DACs, power cords, line conditioners, speaker terminations, isolation cones, and of course, wires and interconnects costing more than a budget car.

Almost all of the "huge improvements" in sound are non-sensical. If a difference can be heard at all (it usually can't), there's certainly no way to demonstrate superiority. Save your bucks for software, and enjoy your setup.

You can erase bookmarks?
Damn...if that was the case I would have not been calling my bank to keep on pushing up the limit on my line of credit.
