a 4 foot one would cost about $55-$60. The belden wire is 14/3 Hi Nezff - I just got my XPA-5 here, and used Monoprice Premium Dig. Audio Coaxial RG-6U (75 Ohm)/ 3ft. long for Interconnects, and their std. AC power cord that comes with XPA-5. Your cables look nice ;D, but being a newbie to this stuff  , what do your Interconnect and AC pwr. cbl. bring to the party per sey. Can you hear any difference in cables, or is it as they say with cabling more snake oil. From my readings on Interconnects you want to have the Polymer be TEFLON - TFE for the best dielectric vs. PVC (worst), and solid conductor OFC, with dbl. shields. |

I'll get with you tomorrow morning.
I'm at the firestation tonight and will have time in the morning to figure it all up for you.
Thanks

I mainly do mine for custom length reasons. I don't like alot of unused cabling behind my stand. I like monoprice for some stuff but like bluejeans for interconnects and sub cabling. |

Here is the RCA cable I use for my sub and amp interconnects:
LC-1 low-capacitance audio cable. It has an extremely heavy double-braid shield layer for the best possible rejection of induced low-frequency hum, and extremely low capacitance for the flattest possible frequency response. It is thick -- about .305 inch in diameter -- but is more flexible than comparably-sized cables, and is therefore easy to route around corners and obstacles. Unlike most analog audio cables on the market, too, LC-1 is UL-listed and bears a CM rating under the National Electrical Code, so is suitable for in-wall installation in both residential and commercial environments. (CM is a superior rating to the more often-seen CL-2 and CL-3 ratings). For more information and specs on this cable, see our "Design Notes" article about LC-1.
