I don't speak this language!

So the new bookcases have been painted and have cured while we've been in Europe. Now the herculean task of reassembling the home theater components--with one catch. The connecting cables are now too short. I've hit every store in town but nobody sells my receiver's vintage or length, so online it is.

This may take more than I can give, considering I'm cottonheaded from jet-lag.

From a cable website listing the qualities of their cable:
Canare's original 3-piece connector design offers consistent and extremely reliable terminations with a wide variety of 75 ohm coaxial cable sizes. This unique construction reduces set-up and assembly time by >80% because no soldering is ever required!
