    mark grant is top of my list so far for both interconnects and iec... unless anyone has a better suggestion

    ali, i had looked at the maplin ones, but the mark grants are only a tenner more and for one reason or another i trust mark grants to be better even without direct personal experience

    Mark Grant's will be (more than) fin imho. Just calculate the correct size: to do that, you need to place your system first.

    If you want to save a bit with a Belden option I've been happy with Audio Friendly - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Belden-19364-M...item48342b7a07

    I would be wary of the Cryo plugs - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Belden-19364-M...item334d2e24e8

    if you use them in a distribution block (mains conditioner) they are too wide to have another plug next to them as they are bigger than normal.

    Hi Hamish

    Getting dearer I know but not so much so, could be worth having a chat with your friendly Rega dealer and asking him to let you test out the new ones from the Isis/Osiris range, quite good I think @ £80 each. Worth a try.

    Cheers

    Hi Hamish,

    While the other cable options look fine, I'd go with Mark's stuff as it's a known quantity and he's on-hand here to offer any advice, should it be necessary...

    It'd also be good to give him the business, as he's member of AoS, rather than a 'stranger'

    Marco.
