I agree regarding the "quality" of the cable, you won't be able to notice the difference once you pass a certain point: $50-$65. But again, it is always nice to know that you have a couple hundred dollars just in cables (what do you have in sound???)

.....but there is nothing worse than a cheap set of RCA's that fail you 6mon down the road.I like cables with repairable ends that I can fix and re solser if I have to....and like everyone else $40.00 + is the range to shop in.

The Cost of these cables makes me laugh! I am not sure if anyone has actually spent the time to cut down a set of these cable and see what they actually are. Most of them are a poly based 59 cable. You go and buy a 200 dollar set of monster component video cables and they are sell you crap.
All these cables are doing is sending RF thru conduit basically. The only difference in these cables are attenuation across different distances. And let me tell you it is a long way for it to make a difference. I am talkin 100ft.
Best cables... Get yourself 6U foam filled coax. however many feet you need. I beleive 100 feet is around 50 dollars. and buy the audio connectors as needed. I beleive they are 1.50 each
