    How much is important the cable in the system?

    Hi,

    Little question:
    the cabling
    1.) pre to ampli (RCA/cinch)
    2.) HDMI/Component
    3.) coaxial/optical

    how much is import for video/sound quality in our HT system??
    how much is "the right budget" to go spend for a good and correct cabling?
    (ex. the pre&ampli = $ 5000.-, cable = $ 500.-??) i think if my dvd is on $ 1k.
    i don't go out $ 500 for a coaxiall cable or?!
    i hope do you understand what is the question.
    Than's Omar

    Sorry to do this to you Omar, but don't expect too many answers.

    # Limit Cable Discissions - HTGuide's owner and main sponsor (Doug A.K.A. Lex and owner of www.catcables.com) has found from many years experience that cable discussions can get way out of hand quickly - so there are special restrictions on them such as they can't be the main topic of discussion (i.e. the thread) and there can be no links to websites that are purely on-line cable brands. So - if you want to talk cables - try PMs or go elsewhere!

      Some people say 10% of your total budget should be set aside for cables. That would be the total spend on all your cables not by equipment type. Other people would say cables make little difference. As mentioned cable discussions can get out of hand so I'll simply say borrow some cables if you can and experiment at home to find out what is right for you. Also, check out the forum sponsor, CAT Cables as Doug sure makes good cables!
