Hi,
New on this forum, so apologies if this isn't in the right place. Anyway, while I am quite technically minded in other ways, I have never had any experience with Hi-Fi systems and the relevant cables needed to put one together. Recently I was helping a friends family move house when we came across a couple of boxes of speakers, and Hi Fi equipment. I am kind of on the lookout for a decent one and they said I could have them if I wanted. But couldn't remember where they got it and had no interest in it at all.
When I got it home and realised there were no cables except for power cables. So was hoping someone might be able to help me identify which ones I need. (Please don't think me lazy I have spent a few hours on the internet trying to found out what I need but to no luck). The cheaper the better really in case it doesn't work.
Arcam Alpha 6 Plus Amplifier
Arcam 7 Am/Fm
Arcam CD73
2 x KEF C55 speakers
2 x Castle ISIS speakers
From the reseach I have done it seems that the speakers can take banana plugs, bare cable, spade connectors and double 4mm plugs. However in the instruction manuals for the Arcam Amplifier I think (couldn't find the exact model) it says that compatible speakers need to have 4 connectors yet the KEF ones only seem to have two and the Castle ones have four but two seem to be blocked off. So now I'm not sure if they are compatible or not. Other sites I have found say both the KEF and Castle speakes are they but don't mention what cables I need so am a bit stuck as to what to buy.
Any helped appreciated - thanks in advance.
