Hi I have an old set of interlink 301s, circa 1988 form a previous
install. They work fine. Are these still any good by todays
standards? Ive been out of the loop for over a decade and am curious
how the vintage stuff stacks up with the current crop RCA cables.

Do you all think it would be worth the $$$ for me to upgrade? Can any
of you hear a difference?

if it helps any my amps are hifonics series VIII and headunit is a
pioneer DEH-P5200


thanks,
Garrett

Monster cable is pure scam. They make Bose look scientific.

A thick braided shield, secure connections, corrosion resistant
platings, and good strain reliefs will deliver perfect sound for years.
Even midrange Radio Shack cables do it. You can even build your own
perfect cable from bulk parts for about $0.30 a foot and $4 for a pair
of gold pated machined brass RCA connectors.
