The cables will be fine. I switched to seperates years ago and never looked back. IMO hooking up your amp will be the next step up the ladder, some will disagree. Try it and let us know how it goes.

Hey guys, so i just got a hand me down amplifier - it is the anthem mca 50. i am currently using a Yamaha rx-v2700 that i want to swap for either the integra 9.8/9.9 or onkyo 885/886 (or whatever other good recommendations there are) depending on which i can find the best deal on. I figure i might as well jump into the seperates thing.
well, my first question is whether or not the monoprice XLR interconnects are suffice? I have been using video cables from monoprice and they are great, the hdmi and vga cables. for audio cables i have used cobalt and blue jeans cable but they are way more pricier and for 5 of them (one for each channel) it's goin to cost alot. but of course if it is goin to make a huge diff, i am going to try to do it right if possible.
my second question is, before i get the new processor, would connecting the amp to my current AVR (yamaha rx-v2700) produce any kind of good results or would it just be a waste of time?
TIA for the help. Happy new year!
