I'm looking to buy some used cables - seems like Kimber PBJ's are popular on-a-budget cables - but I'm open to others.

How much should I expect to pay for 1/2 & full meter IC's?

Thanks for your help.

PBJ's can be had for around $30-$60 if you take your time.

The hero's are a bit better.Ben himself makes some good ones.Tons of DIY dudes on the 'gon hocking their wares.

Unless you plan to resell later, cables from the DIY people are the way to go unless you can get some insane deal you can't pass up.

Heros generally around $100 for a meter pair on the Gon. I think that is about what I paid for mine.

That sounds about right. $40 - $60 for PBJs, about $100 for Heroes.

There are tons of good ICs out there from name brand companies and DIY / smallshops.

I have a couple pairs of DIY 1/2 meter cables if you wanna give em a try. They are too short for my current setups. PM if interested.

I highly recommend the PBJ...you may never feel a need to upgrade from it.

Shoot, just talk to Ben. He's got some nice cables at decent prices. I'm sure you'll be pleased.

Those PBJ better than Signal Analog 2?
