Looking on Google shopping seems to show the stereo cable at £65 as the cheapest. However, the subwoofer cable (a single length rather than a stereo pair) can be had for just £28 and free postage. As long as you don't mind adding your own identifier for left and right, you'd get a stereo pair for £9 cheaper.

For the money, these are dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt cheap - £4 including postage - and employ PCOCC conductor technology and quad shielding. You get 8 ft as well. It's grey too.
Worth an investigation.

Just a wee puzzle. Wonky is going to be making me his Klotz specials (with fancy plastic shielded connectors), but quite properly has his time taken up just now with the new lady in his life (Congratulations again Kevin - or "Dad" I should say), and I thought I really should level the playing field for my amp tests, so I thought I would build some 2m Klotz cables with RCA one end and XLR the other. At the moment the cables Owen supplied for the Benchmark are too short, (or my speaker cables are - take your pick) and so I have them extended with RCA barrel joints to 2m RCA cable. I thought I'd use Neutrik for all connectors. Why are the HiFi RCA's gold plated - but the pro market (recording studio) XLR's not? (can we have a scratchy head smiley guys?)

Depending on which Klotz cable you use, the Neutrik reans may not fit. The outer diameter of the cable is too big on the MC5000.

It's microphone cable - WTF do you connect a microphone up with??
Edit: Oh you mean it wont fit a Neutrik RCA. OK boss - what do I use for that end?

Any connector that will take a 7mm diameter cable. I quite like the Switchcraft 3502A.

Rean NYS352G? 7mm cable diameter? Yalding calling Toulouse Sorry - had to change a nappy. That will do nicely, even if it is brass.

The blurb says finest Chinese nickel. Will be interesting. Or are you going to tell me the connectors will be the difference between our cables?

The connectors don't make a massive difference to my ears.

I cannot decide whether you know what you are doing, or if you mean this genuinely?! In several threads I have confessed my hatred for black!! Does that mean when you play the piano you only use the white keys?

Day before yesterday some interconnects I bought off the net arrived and I have been listening to them. I cannot fault their sound quality, here they are.

Go wild and reckless - buy new. This is my standard cable - I am waiting for Wonky to persuade me I should use anything different. And its Everton Blue!! Toffee cable I listened to these Wonky I could hear no difference with these

Thanks for feeding back Xquigi. And as previously mentioned, there is nothing wrong with not being able to hear a difference. The Everton cables do a decent job. Maybe a tuner isn't the easiest device to use for comparing cables since the program material keeps changing, so you can't compare the same music with both. I think Kevin was treating himself to a set, so it will be interesting to see what he thinks - although his current configuration doesn't lend itself to interconnect comparisons.
