I'll take a crack at this one too.

As far as I know, none of us board members have bought/tried/tested the new Axiom cables.

You can find a preliminary report on them here. From what they've said so far - the axiom cables look like winners. Far from inexpensive though.

Many on these boards are going to tell you to spend no more than you need to for cables. these are considered good enough by many.

I prefer to take a middle of the road approach. In all my looking, I've not found a better deal than these, for good quality cables.

It's really up to you. How much do you want to spend?
