You're welcome. Every cord I've ordered from Monoprice has exceeded my expectations. My two 24 gauge DVI cables with ferrites are as substantial as any I've ever seen. The only thicker cord I own is the AC cord to my Belkin PureAV PF60.
Though I'm reasonably sure you'd be satisfied, if you're concerned about the quality of the cables, order one or two to see what you think. You'd pay a little extra in shipping for two separate orders, but at those prices, it wouldn't be much, and the peace of mind might be well worth it.

I use the digital optical cables to run the audio. Bought them at WalMart. LOL!!! And, they work just fine.

Well doing the current HT re-build I treid some of the Monprice cables and after trying a couple for a sampling I invested about $150 in the Monoprice cables. They are good quality and the prices can not be beat.

i said I would use digital coax over optical, because some times there can be a delay with the optical, and with the digital coax there is no conversion from eletrical signal to optical.. this is just an issue that I have read about on the net, but the theory is sound don’t know if anyone here has ever had that problem or not.

With the roll out rack design, most of the cables needed to be from 15 to 25 foot lengths. The C2 has four each of optical and digital coax. I needed to use some of each to avoid being out of connections, and I have not noticed any differance between Monoprices digital coax or thier optical cables. The opticl has some advanatge as the cable is smaller and more flexible.

Huh? Do you know where you read this? If the theory was sound, why does the majority of internet traffic traverse optical links?

I honestly don’t remember where I read it, and yes I know most of the back bones, on the net are fiber optic cables, mostly OC 128 or OC 3, I do know and the transisters that conver the eletrical signal to optical signal are not very suseptible to delays. But the reason that the intenet uses optics is because of the infinat more bandwidth that fiber optics provides over a copper connection..and with audio there is not a need for infinate amounts of bandwidth your only carrying 5 channels of audio. So in the end I pperfer copper just due to the fact that your not changing the signal from eletrical to optic back to eletric.. and there isn't reall a “real” reason for my preference, I just like it.

Interesting, I have never heard that about optical digital cables. I have to wonder if it was a "mis-statement" of some type??
