I just wanted to post that I got a 15' HDMI and a set of 15' component video cables today from Blue Jeans Cable. I do not have any of their speaker wires, but the build quality of the cables I got seems to be very good. The real test will be when I get my Sanyo Z3 projector in a few weeks and I hook everything up and can test out everything. I will let people know how the A/B testing of the video quality goes as well since there seems to be a lot of question about which is better.

Yep...Blue Jeans Cables makes very good cables.

I only wish when I had been purchasing cables five years ago I had the information that I have now...

Unfortunately, most of my other cables came from Best Buy and unfortuately are Monster...oh the horror! when I think of the money I could have saved...

Am going to have to look into some 12 gauge speaker wire once they are complete with the house...I had them put in some and they installed 16 gauge...I was not about to pay what they wanted for 12 gauge...I'll just use the 16 as a pull cable and replace it with 12.

The interconnects from the Outlaw system are going to be short for the Halos, thinking of changing, besides Blue Jeans, any other recommendations ? Thanks

Ram http://www.ramelectronics.net/index.html is another good company. Also let me put in a plug for Axiom's interconnects. Not cheap, but then again neither is your system .

I am now using Blue Jeans for all of my interconnects and very happy! The component video cables definitely cut out noise that was present with the stock cables I had.

For my speaker cables, I dressed up some Canare 4S11 on my own.

I use BJ component cables too. I just wish it wasn't so thick, it's making me re-think my plasma wall mounting, since I'd have install a pretty decent diameter conduit to fit it.

I checked out RAM cables too, but, for example, the HDMI cable I got from Blue Jeans (which was the exact same as RAM's) was $11 cheaper at Blue Jeans.

For Component, RAM only offered the 7710A cable (same as Blue Jeans), but I wanted the individual 1694A cables so that it was easy to run through the wall (more flexible). So that put RAM out of the running for me. Same great quality, just higher prices and a little less selection.

WIth that said, RAM's prices, while higher than Blue Jeans for what I needed, is still a much better way to go that things like Monster, and the like. You will be happy with cables from either of these two places (B.J. or RAM)...
