Interconnects & power protection Help PLEASE
I'm throwing together a stereo system and I was wondering what a good cable for connecting a cd player to the receiver. I don't know jack about cables.... or tasteful puns. I know i dont want walmart trash but I know theres probably a clear line when spending over x amount of dollars your paying big for slight differences. I just want a solid, good connection.
Also, my stereo system had to be hooked up to an extension cord, for the time being. Quality loss? I would love to hear solid extension/surge protector suggestions. I should note my old house doesn't have grounds on the wall sockets. Should i get a grounded surge protector and use a crappy adapter for the time being (I'm not living here forever). I'm currently using a extension cord that has grounds in the female end and not in the male. Is this dangerous to my system???
Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated, This is a very grey area for me.€€
THANKS!
