OK, here's what I'm planning to do. If anyone sees a better way to do this, please don't be shy, let me know!

First of all, an outboard multichannel amp, an ICBM and a DVD Audio (or SACD) player means a BOAT LOAD of inteconnects.

From bottom to top:

Kenwood KA9100 amp to Outlaw ICBM-1 - 2 interconnects into Y adaptor

Anthem 5 channel amp to Outlaw ICBM-1 - 5 interconnects

Outlaw ICBM-1 to Onkyo 797 - 5 interconnects, 2 Y adaptors into 4 ICs

Onkyo 797 to Toshiba SD9200 DVD Audio Player - 5 Interconnects.

That's 21 Inteconnects!!!

I haven't hooked the Anthem PVA-5 into the system yet, so the number of ICs is based on doodling and reading the manuals.

The number of ICs I need bumps up hard against my frugal nature, so I checked out the AR interconnects, but my local Best Buy doesn't carry them in 3' lengths. I thought about the Fusion series of ICs from Radio Shack, but these are $25 a pair. I ended up buying a boat load of Tara Labs Prism 300i's from AudioVideoMan (found him on ebay) 15 pair for $200. I'll have some ICs left over toward another system.

I have some of the beautiful pearly Outlaw interconnects, but don't like the locking connectors - they're too tight and I'm afraid they'll pull the guts out of my components.
