Cables advice needed!

Just got myself a new telly and DVD player (at long last!), the Acer AT3201W and the Philips DVP720SA. Very impressed so far, now looking to get them connected up as best I can.

Am currently using the component leads supplied with the TV and have the player hooked up to a Videologic Digitheatre amp using a standard set of 6 leads.

Can anyone recommend me a couple of decent sets of quality leads for a reasonable price, and where? Honestly wouldn`t have the first idea myself but I do want to get the best out of the system.

I`ve always found their B-tech cable range excellent.

Their service is superb as well,even to the extent that when I have ordered stuff that is out of stock they have supplied me with more expensive options,free of charge.

Not sure where to get them from, but manufacturers that seem to produce some well rated (and good value) leads include Thor, Ixos, and QED. I got most of mine through either ebay or www.tlc-direct.co.uk

I don`t know much about your kit, but generally, it seems to be considered that it is better to let the amp do the audio decoding, so you may want to try using a digital interconnect from the DVD player to the amp, co-axial is generally considered to be marginally better than optical. Don`t forget to tell the dvd player to use the digital output
