Hey Everyone,

I just purchased the Outlaw 7500 amp. Any suggestions on what cables to purchase?

One choice would be to stay with Outlaw and get interconnects from them. There are some other options, too, though. A lot of folks like MonoPrice, but I've also had great luck with Blue Jeans Cable.

I use Blue Jeans between my 990 and 770. Their a little cheaper than outlaw and you can specify the length.

I have both Blue Jeans and Monoprice cables and prefer the BJCs over the monoprice versions. They both work fine but the BJCs feel more solidly constructed. I have my 990 connected using the BJCs and it sounds awesome but, if you don't need to use balanced you can save your $$$ and go with RCA interconnects. Altough the balanced cables may get you 3 db more signal they are not needed unless you run for long lengths.

I do agree about the Blue Jeans build quality.

If he's using the SR7002 in his sig, then XLR's aren't an option in the first place. That's a receiver that will only have unbalanced pre-outs.

I am using monoprice XLR 6' cables right now between my 990 and 7700, but I have nothing to compare them to. They seem solid to me. I have been using monoprice for 5+ years and only once had a problem with a subwoofer rca cable.
