Well even if the cable do make a difference, you would probably looking at spending $3k+ on your rig anyway to hear a difference. I would just get something cheap, <$40 will be sufficient.

Well, they're not bad. Cables aren't bad, unless they're maybe some thin RadioShack ones. They should be alright.

 

Monster is just often considered overpriced. For that price, I wouldn't call them so. Though I wouldn't buy from them out of principle.

Thats not a bad price on the Monster cable.  

I don't like the ones I've used/seen though.. the plugs are short, stubby, and has a vice-grip on your equipment.  Pair that with a stiff cable and it's a major PITA to plug stuff into the back of your a/v equipment.  Commercial a/v equipment normally have closely-spaced(14mm) rca jacks and a short/fat plug gives you virtually nothing to grab onto.

 

I like belkin cables personally - http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=249-170

nice-fitting connector with soft-grip shell, flexible cable.
