I don't believe that Lex is that worried about competition, this is a Rotel board, that is the brand of components I recently bought. I looked elsewhere for a wires etc. board and didn't find one. So I figured this was the most approriate place to post this post. Can someone at least give some reviews on the Catcables, Im not a snob, I just need some cables!

I believe Aussie Geoff has had some excellent experience with CatCables. Run a search for KingCats on this forum and take a look. From all that I have read (I dont own any... yet), CatCables are fantastic products. Read Lex's thread on cable rules... not big brotherish, not even like animal farm. Perfectly fair considering that he makes this forum possible.

Hobo,
Have a read through the posts in the CatCables forum HERE and you'll get a sense of what people think..
I have a wide variety of cables in my system. Earlier this year I bought one CatCable (a Silver Digital Coax not on their site). I found it so good I bought more (and more) of their cables. The SilverKing Cats and Silver Cats interconnects are great as well. I have lots of other brands and consider the CatCables the best sounding (not the most expensive but the best sounding) cables I have...

Thank you guys, I like what I read about them. I appreciate the Links! I am so newbish when it comes to home audio I am not sure what I even needed! Thnaks, JBComment

I can certainly vouch for the Silver Digital cable (not yet shown on the Catcables site)... and for Doug's customer service.
As you are a self-described 'newbish' guy, it might interest you to know that cables in general are a very hotly debated topic... some insist there are audible differences and spend considerable money in pursuit of 'the best'... others insist that there are virtually no differences in cables and insist on spending bare minimum... as you might imagine, these debates can get serious; such threads are frequently locked on various forums.
So in addition to supporting our forum sponsor (who coincidentally makes a well-constructed, high-performance cable product, IMO), the other reason to not launch a cable discussion here is the 'threat of war'.
For your purposes, you might consider making cables about 10% of your total expenditure, especially as you are hooking up high-quality Rotel components... Doug's cables are an excellent match (again, IMO), and the makes you mentioned elsewhere are reputable... if you are interested in determining whether audible differences exist from make to make or grade to grade, your best option is to actually buy extras and compare them in your own system for your own ears.
Happy hunting..

Hey Doug I just wanted to thank you again for the incredible work you do on my new silver cats and the digital coax cable they arrived A-Ok this morning which was perfect timing since I took the day off to do some projects. I'm in the middle or retooling my rack, building new stands for the mains and... -
Meow :!: This contest is for a 4 meter Coolcat Subwoofer Cable!
I said I would give something away, so here tis! Don't settle for just a cable when you can get a CAT. CATCables, the official Cable of HTGuide. You expected someone else? LOL.
To enter,... -

Use this coupon number, and it doesn't matter if you do it before adding... -
I have a set of Silver and Copper cats on order, but my 1095 and 1066 are here now. Other than the quality of sound issue. Will it be ok to use the cables that came with the 1066 (a couple of steps above Radio Shack :LOL: ) until I get my Cats?
I only ask because the 1095 manual says... -
Friday I picked up a package from the post office. It was an order I had been waiting for from CatCables, containing my Thundercats digital cable.
Most of my HT cables are a mix of Monster and Ultra Link, plus a custom made 27 foot set of component cables. My son, who is a tekkie in the commercial...
