I like monoprice 12AWG cables and their banana plugs. I believe that Blue Jeans actually welds their cables to the connectors. Blumenstein Audio cables seem pretty good.
I use belden 1624p. Marv apparently uses monster banana jacks. I myself use whatever I have on hand. Regular Mogami w3103 is pretty solid in my experience as well.
Their Rca interconnects are lacking a bit. Other good $30 RCA cables sound a bit better. I think if I had to do it over, I would get some nice 12 gauge twisted type cable from a decent source. I use something from VH Audio, it is his twisted pair stranded 12 gauge with 4 total legs for 9 gauge overall. Kind of overkill but not too expensive and has stood the test of time.
I need to run some network cable through my house and I might as well set aside a few feet for speaker cabling. Any reason why a Cat 6 version of this cable would be any different? Also I noticed it's a shielded cable, what do you do with the shielding?
