Customer Review: Common sense
Summary: 1 Stars
Ok guys, personal disclosure: I'm an audio engineer and a classical musician. My life revolves around fussing over the most minute details of music, whether listening to it or making it.
Now, these cables are STUPID. When I was a kid, I remember buying these from the sales-people at Hi-Fi Buys. They probably are giving you the same line, "You spend how much money on your system, and then you're going to have a weak link with $5 Radio Shack cables?" It's BS! Here's the line profesional musicians and engineers fall back on, "If it sounds good, it is good."
Technical note: if you really wanted high quality cables, you'd have to use 3-pin balanced cables operating at +4dbu. And buy some Tannoy near-field, reference monitors. All consumer audio equipment is 2-pin (red wire, black wire), unbalanced and operates at -10. You can look this information up anywhere.
So you can buy gold cables (hell, why not platinum, or - cables made of out DIAMOND!), dip them in expensive chocolate, and do a rain dance and it's going to sound just the same as the $5 radio shack ones.
If you claim to be a music lover, then indulge your money in good music!

Update: in fairness, I should say that monster makes decent quality cables. Good materials, sturdy construction. What really irks me is seeing them ridiculously overpriced, and seeing people buy them unwittingly. Radio Shack makes generally cheap crap, everybody knows, but for simple items like RCA cables, they *usually* get the job done.
That being said, for the best quality (2-pin, remember) cables, I usually buy HOSA or a similar brand from music instrument stores. Search this in Amazon:
HOSA STEREO 3.5mm (M) - TWO RCA, 10 ft.
This company makes very high quality cables at a reasonable price. If you don't want to wait for the mail, you can get them at Guitar center, sam ash, etc etc. Hosa is a pro company that makes consumer equipment. I used them when I was throwing raves in my warehouse with linked stereo systems. Monster is a company built around the consumer market. Go look at their websites.
Hosa = Toyota corolla
Monster = Toyota corolla, w/ a bad tint job and loud muffler, (stock engine) and 5X the cost.
So get out there, buy your hosa's and paint them white..
