Hello everyone,

Just curious to know which cable if your opinion are best to connect from my Squeezebox Touch to my Quad 12l Active. Right now I am using cheap hossa cables which suck (get static). I need about four feet and really do not want to break the bank, maybe 100 tops. I remember a long time ago someone mentioned that the best cable to connect directly to power amps (like the ones in the Quads) have to have very low capacitance.

Thank you in advance.

Try Blue jeans cables, they have nice quality for the price.

Another vote for Blue Jeans cables here, especially if you're looking for low capacitance. The LC-1 interconnects are rated really low at 12.2 pF/ft and four feet of it won't be anywhere near $100, closer to $35.

With active speakers you're best off with balanced cables, but since the squeezebox doesn't have XLR outs you'll need shielded cables.
