Speaker cables - what do you use...?

Damn Emo, it's 4:30am your time, and you are thinking about speaker cables? Damn it, it's late for me too. I shouldnt have bought that stupid RockStar.
Ahhhh I remember this thread. Oh boy..........

I just bought a pair of Z4 monster cable speaker cables on Ebay for $180 ($600 list price), they sound no better than the $30 monster cable. I also picked up a pair of monster cable m100i interconnects for $30 ($200 retail list price) on ebay and they dont sound any better than my AR cables. What a waste of money.

Congratulation blackraven and welcome. Sounds like you can spend your money towards music instead of worrying about cables.

4 pairs of 4ft braided (27 twisted pair in triple braid 2x3x3x3) CAT-5 Ultra. Yep, I made them myself. They are cheap, look impressive and sound damn good.

My interconnects are WHITE ZOMBIE AUDIO, which are handmade and use silver. I also use WHITE ZOMBIE for my Digital Coax and my Subwoofer. I have alot of interconnects because I use them for 5.1 analog for SACD or DVD-A. They were $88/pair.

I used several kinds prior to these and found that these are the most superb for the price. They look great, sound even better, and have a really great build design with a locking RCA cap.

My towers are wired using PS Audio XStream cables, which are probably the fattest cables on the market...They are nearly 4 inches in diameter! I was using Monster, then AudioQuest prior and also demoed quite a few other choices, but went with the PS Audio because they delivered the best of high and low end. I think they were around $250/pair.

My power cables are Acoustic Zen "Tsunami", which are fantastic and were about $100. I also tried several prior to going with these, but they are incredibly well build and work terrific.
