6 channel analogue cables from sony760 to amp

Hi


I have recently purchased the sony 760 and was wondering, how much should I spend on the three sets of analogue cables I will need to connect it to my amp to get the best sound?  Would I be looking at budget or a midrange cable? 


Cheers

You dont mention what your amp is!

But if you want some good quality,reasonably priced multi-channel(6 way) interconnects then i've used these in the past....

Question; coming from a school that says interconnects shouldn't be scrimped on would the Award winning Merlins be a better choice or even Chord Crimsons?


Yep, I realise it's £120 -£150 for them, is it worth this in terms of sound quality?


I'm about to do the same thing and am very interested in the response

I would look on ebay. I just got some QED Qunex 3 interconnects 0.5m (I doubt you would need longer) for £19.95 delivered. I reckon they would be perfect for this job.

Thanks for your replies.


My amp is a Yamaha rxv1600, which I think was a £800 amp, but thats going back a few years.


How does the Qunex 3 compare to the Qunex 1?  I've seen them in superfi for a tenner.  Would that be skimping a little too much?

I don't think so, give them a go. Remember, the interconnect doesn't have to be as musical as if it were from amp to cdp.
