	Hey!
	  I am in the process of building interconnect cables for the 
	home entertainment system. I'm currently using homebuilt cables
	made from Radio Shark RG-59 and cheap RCA pin plug connectors.
	These cables a re used to pass the usual line level high impedance
	audio (and maybe a little video) between components.  I have 
	determined that this is not a preferred method so I need to 
	correct this using much higher performance components especially 
	the cable. I understand that oxygen free wire is supposed to be 
	the hot ticket these days. Is it really? Are there other types 
	that perform equally/better? What brands and types are recommended 
	as well as where to get them?
