I no longer see an option to purchase cables from the Emotiva web site. Are they no longer being offered ?

Funny, but this morning I see that its been fixed, so I was not going crazy  I had emailed Emotiva as well and thought I would let them know if you went directly to the web site the e connects option was not shown. So thank goodness I was not going nuts ! Anyways, ordering some cables today..... From the Emotiva web page you need to click on products, which takes you to the products page.

So everyone here would recommend X series cables vs, say Rockford Fosgate cables?

Sorry that was posted from an account I accidently setup when I couldn't login. Question is valid still though. I'm using Rockford Fosgate cables that are a twisted pair of audio cable from my AVR to my XPA 2 Gen3. Would I notice a difference in detail possibly if I purchased the X series cables or Bluejean?

Probbly not. For the most part, unless you're talking wildly different wire gauges like 14 vs 28 -- copper is copper. It'll sound the same. I Iike the X series - decent well built cables. Same for Bluejeans - great cables. The "best" cables aren't the most expensive. They're the ones that typically have solid connectors and larger gauge wires. But the better built cables won't necessarily sound any better than monoprice ones.. I like the fit and finish Emotiva cables and Bluejeans. |

I have never used monoprice though I have used and still use mediabridge cables for subwoofer cabling and they are very well built and I've heard no noise. I'm not certain of the gauge of my current AV cables but I will look into it.
But in your opinion a subwoofer/ RG6 cable would offer better performance than standard audio cables?

I apparently spaced out and started talking about speaker cables more than interconnects in terms of gauge. I don't really think that RG6 cable or "premium" interconnects will sound any different. The runs are so short that gauge doesn't really matter. If it's a very long run - there are sometimes benefits to using better cables. |

I do know if you followed the link nor not, but you think an average interconnect is just as sufficient as a well built one?
