CABLE (I promise not to buy Monster before asking) QUERY

[JonathanBlake]

it IS worth spending a bit more on a cable imo. There is a obvious difference in quality at the bottom end of the market.

I'd say pay £10 to £15 on a 2m rca to jack, especially if you rely on it for quality sound. Buy from a reputable source too, im sure a few people can recommend some. If not, check out www.AVForums.com, they'll be able to help.

You get analogue sound from your audio 2, not digital btw.

Ta, good sound advice.

I have used monoprice about 6 times and every single time was a great transaction. I would give my vote to them, great prices and selection, and their quality is wonderful.

most places you will play wont have a sound system anywhere near good enough to notice any differnce in signal quality. However interferance can cause issues so a well sheilded cable is always a good idea. Make your own plenty of tutorials around

Our house was destroyed by burst pipes 2 years ago. In the restore process I had 2,000 feet of cat6e cabling run throughout the place with 36 LAN ports. I also had 2 x HDMI, 1 x VGA 5 x speaker core, 1 x USB (yes, USB) run from the basement to wall panels in the living room. All of it was from Monoprice. Cannot rate them highly enough.

Monoprice proves you can get high quality cabling and connectors without breaking the bank. Not sure what the options are like back in Blighty or other parts of the world.

if you are handy with a soldering iron make them yourself with good quality connectors and shielded cable... get some nice cloth wrapped cable or something fancy

I ended up getting it for half off :P

..and still not worth the money at 50%

Boring pro audio shops that sound engineers get their cabling from will do you dirt-cheap and high-quality cables (thick plastic, tough connectors, etc).

It's worth getting cables that aren't bottom-end consumer stuff, not because they will sound better, but because they won't break.
