In my experience the quality of the interconnections has almost as much
effect on the finished sound as does the quality of the speakers. I
strongly suggest that you avoid at all cost anything cheap to link these
devices.

LOL ... yes, you want to avoid anything that resembles two paper clips
joined by wet string, but otherwise a cable is a cable is a cable.
Those who would tell you otherwise are either (a) trying to con you
into purchasing the latest 0.000000000001% oxygen with added snake-oil
connects, or (b) have already been conned by (a) and want to disguise
their embarrasment. Recording studios buy exactly the kind of generic
screened cable and connectors available from RS, Maplin, etc., and get
a spotty studio junior to make up cables - anyone with even a passing
acquintance with a soldering iron can do the same.
