Many people today go out and buy all these expensive DVD players, television sets, speakers, and receivers, yet they spend next to nothing on the wires that connect these components together. The components of your audio/video system are all interconnected, so it’s only as good as its weakest link. The cables are the arteries of your system. If your arteries can’t distribute the full potential of your components, then you’re really shortchanging yourself.

“But my system came with their own cables, they have to be good.”

Sure, if you want to use cables that degrade signals and provide little insulation from external interference, feel free to use them. What would you expect from something free? It’s obvious that when one spends thousands of dollars on the receiver alone, you want a high quality system. To receive the best sounds and pictures, you should invest in high-quality cables, which operate with the least amount of resistance and well insulated. As a rule of thumb, when putting together your home audio/video system, one should budget about 10% of the total system cost into the purchase of quality cables and interconnects.
