Loudspeaker Cables & Interconnects Editor's Note: Rather than place cables in the usual "Recommended Components" classes, we've just listed those cables that members of the magazine's review team either have chosen to use on a long-term basis or have found to offer good value for money.

"Try before you buy" is mandatory with cables; many dealers have a loaner stock to make this easier.
