I want some HQ RCA cables but every shop tells you something different. "these are the best they are crap" etc.

I need 5m lengths.
I don't really mind about the price but i dont want to spend more that $150 on 2 pairs.
So any recomendatios would be appreciated!!!

Thanks Nathan.

there have been two threads on cables in the past few days. chase them up.

(acting switzerland now - on the fence - and sitting on my opinions)

make your own cat-5 cables. cheap as chips. works well.

The more expensive RCA's focused on looks? Like the look of the terminals??
I noticed that the more expensive ones have nice shiny connections ... for like show ???

yeah pretty much high end cables, do nothing more then seperate you from your money
now there are cheap **** calbes and there are good cables, but u should never have to spend more then bout $40 MAX on a good set
usually anything about that is all the bullsh%t factor

I'm looking at buying about 15, 2 to 1/2 metre RCA cables in total. Alota brands out there. I would like to cut each one open and see how much wire is inside them all.

Stinger make rolls of RCA cable and sell connectors seperately. Won't be very cheap but a least it'll continue to work for a fair while.

I'm not into mega wank glitter stuff but at the same time, I'm not skimping either.

What is the point of this, apart from ruining perfectly good RCA cables?
