Okay, so I am looking to do some re-wiring and change-up of my audio component cables. I am also looking to simplify as I have a Y connectors (will explain) and a switch box.
First - My pre is a Marantz SR4023 that is wired as follows:
Pre-Out to a set of Y cables
Y cable one side - for the Sub-woofer (because SUB OUT is defeated when you use the SR4023 as a pre)
Y cable other side feeds a breakout box INPUT
Breakout box
Input from PRE-amp as above
Output 1 - Yamaha M65 Natural Sound Power Amp - 170wpc
Output 2 - Velleman K4040 Tube amp - 90wpc
The above lets me choose which amp I want to use for power. I am considering pulling the Yamaha out of the mix and eliminating the break-out box. I pretty much only use the tube amp so - simplify.
I also have my Concept Table which requires a 10 to 12ft cable from the phono stage to the pre. All the rest of my cables can be 3ft.
So I need
1 - Pair 15ft cables for SUB
1 - Pair 12ft cables for Concept table
1 - Pair 3ft cable for the pre-to the power amp
1 - Pair 3ft cable for the CD player to the pre
I am cost conscious. I have been looking at the Acoustic Research Pro II series cables and the Belkins. Anyone work with these? It appears that the component cables for audio and for video are slightly different. I was always told you could use component video cables for audio but I guess that may be misleading.
So my question....Are these good ? Please tell me which will work...Thanks (also note, please keep in mind my general price range)
