Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Cables!!

has anyone tried the axiom cables? are they any good?

what are the best brands out there?

Aaaah! Two cable threads at the same time! The world's going to end!

I'll take a crack at this one too.

As far as I know, none of us board members have bought/tried/tested the new Axiom cables.

You can find a preliminary report on them here. From what they've said so far - the axiom cables look like winners. Far from inexpensive though.

Many on these boards are going to tell you to spend no more than you need to for cables. these are considered good enough by many.

I prefer to take a middle of the road approach. In all my looking, I've not found a better deal than these, for good quality cables.

It's really up to you. How much do you want to spend?

Yes, I use the bluejean cables for 1 of my s-video and my analog 5.1's. Good stuff, best prices of the 'internet companies.'

Wish they did speaker and optic. Though, better cables optic's are at a good price.

i posted the thread, blank, came back and realized it was blank about an hour later

anyways, i am looking for cheap video cables. i have a 32 inch tv. going to have basic cable, nothing fancy.

but audio cables i will spend some money. I want this system to last a while, and i only want to have to make one cable purchase(s) in my lifetime(at least for audio)

system-m22tis, QS8, HK 525, SVS 25-31PC+

other stuff-xbox, 32 inch TV, regular cable, will be connecting computer to reciever for both mp3's and DVD's.

will need appropriate cables for all of that

edit-coaxial stuff sounds pretty durable(still in college so my stuff is gonna get moved around and beat up)

Hawk, video cables are coaxial cables with 75 ohm impedance. At a maximum, there's no need for you to spend more than here or at other reasonable cost sources such as Cables America. Audio interconnects can be the same cables or even less expensive types if the heavier coaxial interference shielding and 75 ohm impedance aren't required.

How does that 525 sound with those m22's?

oh-i thought coaxial was for sound
i wont get them for video then-just need something average
what do you guys suggest

Hawk, maybe you misinterpreted my reply, but to repeat, video cables are 75 ohm coaxial cables, so yes, you do get coaxial for video. Again, for audio interconnects(speaker wire is simply lampcord)the same cables can be, and often are used, but less expensive non-coaxial cables are usually perfectly satisfactory.

IMHO, Axiom's cables are overpriced. I made my own cables following these directions, but if I were going to buy cables I'd buy them from bluejeanscable.com.
