Anyone have opinions on cables between audio components (RCA),. There seems
to be a huge market for 'premium' cables between audio components, with
prices running to very high levels. Not being knowledgeable in this area
I'd be interested in people's opinions.

G'day
The other day, someone mentioned using mains cable as speaker cable,
because
its so damn cheap. Is anyone using this setup?
I've heard things about the quality of interconnects between amp and
CD/MD/other stuff making a difference to sound quality, and simliar
things
about speaker wire, and 99.9% oxygen free copper wire or some crap.
There must be some truth in it, if people are willing to pay hundreds
and
hundreds of $ for a few metres of speaker wire.. Anyway, does anyone
know if
there'd be an appreciable difference between reasonably cheap but
"thick"
speaker wire from an audio shop and mains cable from a hardware shop?
thanks,

Me and about any other sensible person that I know.
Speaker-cable is based upon the fairytale that is called: 'People
believe'.
And one other `Quality costs money`.
Ie, most people don't know anything about cable materials. So there are
some manufacturers that play with that. Take standard mains cable and
market
it as special speaker wire.
One thing is for sure here, a 2.5 mm2 mains cable will give 'better' sound
than a 1.0 mm2 speaker cable (which cost probably the same as the 2.5mm2
mains).
