Chris, you'll be happy to know I ordered a set of multichannel interconnects from them to go from my new receiver to my A1400-8 when I get it back. The RCA connections on them are far superior to the ones on the BJC MSA-1 audio cable that I bought from them a while ago. Those ones were way too tight. I still haven't freed my RCA jack that it ripped out of my Dayton amp.
Cam, I'm jealous of how easily you can get to your connections now. I can't wait to move my system and have easy access to the back. That will be so much nicer.

Yeah, I have an old set of 5.1 analog cables from them, and new subwoofer cables. The new plugs are definitely an improvement.

Is it possible that you have locking banana plugs, Cam, but they are not locked?

Although it's quite a bit of work, it's well worth it. Is it possible that you have locking banana plugs, Cam, but they are not locked? Ken, thanks for the suggestion, but I have these from Monoprice. They are really nice connectors, but they aren't secure. A while back, my centre channel fell behind my receiver and ended up unplugging some of them, which obviously would've put a lot of force on the others. I was wondering if that damaged something inside the connector on the receiver. I've read there's a spring in each connector that secures banana plugs. I think I'm going to order some locking ones on the weekend.

I would guess he got cables based off the BJC LC-1 stock. That's the best cable for analog audio connections. It has the wrong impedance for matched circuits like S/PDIF and video, so don't use the same cables there.

You're right, Chris. LC-1.

Yeah, if you receiver only has RCA outs, then this is the stuff to use. Only get it as long as you need.
I consider their prices fair. With the cost of copper, and their build quality. Plus the fact that there are cable companies out there trying to sell a pair of interconnects for $800, that probably perform (or at least measure) worse. Not that price dictates quality...
