Interconnects for my new CA CDP

David Mitchell Silver Member Username: Dmitchell Ottawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 639 Registered: Feb-07	Posted on Saturday, February 09, 2008 - 20:54 GMT I know this is a very controversial subject, but I have to ask. I'm want to buy a half decent set of interconnects for my new Cambridge Audio 640C. I've seen on ebay both Audioquest Sidewinders and Kimber Kable PBJ up for auction at reasonable prices. Which ones would you guys recommend? Are these two even in the same league? I get the impression the Kimber is a little better (based solely on price...).

They're a very good interconnect. I don't know your system to speculate about synergy. What are you running for speaker cables and how long are they?

The runs are fairly short - my furthest speaker from my amp is maybe 8 feet, and I tried to keep the run lengths identical for both speakers.
