How much does the quality of the RCA interconnects running from the power amp to the AVR really make? Are there really any noticeable gains from cheap to mid-level to high end RCAs?

The ones I purchase from Monoprice/Amazon are relatively cheap and that is all you need. smile

I am running 40+ year old interconnects from ratshack with my actives. They are of various lengths and are like a mess of spaghetti. Different rca cables may measure different but I don't know if the differences are audible.

That's more or less what I was assuming. The only audible difference I've ever experienced was running shielded RCAs in my car which prevented road noise from coming through the speakers.

Amazon Carries Gotham/Mogami RCA cables. They're pretty good. Oh, and 'Best Cables in the World' they're pretty darn good.

Blue Jean's carries Belden and Cardas, I think. Pretty good.

All modestly priced.
