For any of you still looking for cables, I just tried MonoPrice for a couple Premium Optical Toslink cables, and for $4.00 bucks a pop, great quality and a superb deal, I'm very impressed with them.

I agree with your comments on Monoprice. I have purchased the below products from them with great price and quality:

25ft DVD/HDMI cable
25ft Component cable
DVD/HDMI adapter
3ft Coax for SPDIF for my HTPC
3ft Toslink

Great stuff and unbelievable prices and delivery.

One of these days I'm going to get new cables. I'm still living with the OEM cable variety...

But, you know, they work. They're just not pretty.

You're just afraid of change... and of the possibility that your cheap OEM cables have been robbing you of clarity and a deeper soundstage for all these years.

No, I'm afraid of spending a couple of hundred bucks on something I'll look at once, twice a year...

They may be cheap, but they have very good quality.

Yeah, I'm stunned by the quality/price ratio. I've got a 15 foot and 35 foot DVI run, so I splurged on the 24 gauge DVI cables and they are REALLY thick and well built. Much as I like my Dayton cables from PartsExpress, and feel I paid a very reasonable price for them, all my future cable purchases will be from Monoprice.

I agree, my HDMI/DVI cable set me back about $23CDN versus the $137 that FutileShop wanted for a Monster version.

Good timing! Just last night I placed an order with them for an HDMI and coax cable. Prices are unbelievable.
