    How long of cables do you want/need?

    BTW, monoprice.com has some nice looking (I have no personal experience with them) RCA interconnects for an inexpensive price.
    Mains and Surrounds: NHT 1.5s, Center: NHT AudioCenter-1, Subs: SVS PC13-Ultra, SB13-Ultra, Receiver: Pioneer Elite VSX-23, Amps: Emotiva RPA-1, POS-1, Display: Panasonic TC-P50G10

    Yeah, you could probably replace every cable in your system with monoprice cables for less than $100.

    Two pair of component cables and one RCA cable will do the job. I use these on both my main HT system (Onkyo 805 as preamp) and bedroom system (Denon 3808 as preamp)

    Any old RCA cable would work. You could actually get away with those cheap red and white ones that you have in your closet. That being said, I use Monoprice.
    A bunch of Paradigm stuff, a big sub, a few amps and 3 plasma's...Panny of course...

    so no need to worry about ohms rating on them, i want to go cheap but not at the cost of sound potential

    also what cable do i need for the 12v trigger

    and what about these for the pre outs

    I believe 75-ohm cables are mainly geared for subwoofers and digital coax audio. 12v trigger should need a 3.5mm male-to-male.
