Default Audioquest RCA cables or Emotiva X series RCA?

Hey guys, I know there are all kinds of opinions on cables. I've seen a deal on Audioquest black mamba ll RCA cables for $99 a pair. I would need 2 and a half pairs cause I'm getting a 5 channel NAD amp. You think it's worth it or get Emotiva X-series cables and save the money cause there wouldn't be an audible difference.

Get the Emo cables & save the money. You can save even more by buying from Monoprice & get the RG6U or RG59U cables. They will be just as good.

I have both brands of cable and both are nice. It really comes down to what you are comfortable spending.

Go with the Monoprice. Everything in my rooms are from Monoprice not one single problem. I hear that Bluejean is also a great value.

I agree with Jlafrenz and crazyBLUE it comes down to your spending budget i got the monoprice RG6U & RG59U cables, i bought expensive monster cables and other brands to do comparison my personal experience you will get the same performance, and Monoprice is best bang for your buck i think you get more than what you pay for and they are well constructed that will last you years of outstanding performance.

i don't believe audibly you can tell the difference between any of the ones mentioned. so whatever you feel comfortable buying. i was told that you should spend 10% of your gear total in cables.
