I am looking at relatively less expensive interconnects than the Outlaw interconnects. Two that caught my eye were:

RADIO SHACK
Premium-quality Audio Patch Cable, 3-ft. Cable:
"Delivers high reliability and improved sound performance. Strong, flexible cable with double-shielding has a solid core cable with a high-performance, gold-plated RCA phono plug at each end"

RADIO SHACK
3-Ft. Gold Series Audio Cable
"Gold-series single cable with one RCA plug at each end. 24K gold-plated connectors reduces corrosion, substantially reduces signal loss and insures maximum performance."

1) Is an "audio patch cable" the same as an interconnect...i.e. to connect the 950 to the 7100?
2) Any suggestions/comments on the quality of these cables? I assume an interconnect is basically a RCA-RCA cable?
3) Anyone familiar with EFX AMM1.5C Interconnect Cables? The ones I saw were described as "Spiral-shielded iced, OFHC, clear interconnect cable terminated with EFX-2 frosted Apollo RCA connectors" and seem inexpensive $7 for 1.5 feet at Buy.com

Thanks in advance for your insights.
