    All depends what you mean by best buy - Oli's SPOTFIRE interconnects are better than most at any price imo.

    In a cheaper band, at about £10 for a 1.5m pair Hitachi LCOFC cable is hard to beat. Not sure if it's still available.

    Chord Silver Siren is a step up from that at about £40 used a pair. Very nice. Definitely a sweet spot in their range.

    CarboKab 225 are very good, partner with good plugs and at around £50 ( DIY) pretty difficult to beat in this price range.

    There is a loan pair of the SPOTFIRE currently doing the rounds. If you join the loan list, you can try them with no obligation. Just a bit of feedback.

    Cable Solutions on ebay.
    Made from Canary cables and connectors.
    I am very impressed with what they can do at low cost.

    15 amp mains cable wrapped in tin foil to stop interference, only 🙃

    Seriously the Best Buy I made for an interconnect is Eccose Conductor http://www.ecossecables.co.uk/ecosse...conductor.html interestingly they are now only £40 and I am sure that I paid at least £60
    A few years back, I also have a pair of nu-diva which are very good but a bit more pricey.

    Amplification:- AudioValve Sunilda phono stage, Krell KSP-7B pre-amp, Krell KSA-80 power amp
