Thanks guys for the info. The only thing with the Orbs is that they take up to 14 gauge wire. Other than that I'll check out Blue Jeans and Outlaw cables.

Any recommendations on a good DVD/CD changer (with DVD-A &/or SACD)? I can live without SACD. Some models I've looked into are Integra DPC-8.5 6 disc changer and Yamaha C950. I don;t want to give up quality, but want the convenience of a changer.
