I am looking to buy a 1.5 feet RCA cable that is shielded...what are my options ?

I am looking at this cable , is there anything better, cheaper ?

For the money you won't do better than that.

Those Monoprice cables might be decent sounding but mostly impractical, especially for shorter lengths and with smaller devices/tighter spaces. Tbh, I got some of these for my desktop rig and I've been very happy with the results ever since. They're more expensive than MP, but the wire is excellent, the RCA connectors are high quality, and the cables themselves are flexible and supple. One odd note; it's the first uni-directional analog RCA audio cable I've ever seen. Apparently it's for the grounding.

If you're working with a headphone amp/DAC stack and can use 6" cables, there's also these which are "fancier" but a few dollars less than the above, from the same company -- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GNXGUAQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_3VMKTTGQM5XP7HVB8RC3

Those are expensive in Canada...I guess I will go with the Monoprice ones..since I want it for a tube pre-amp...

I use these, better then Monoprice, IMO. I also use Worlds Best Cables, for 2ft and under. Mogami, not Gotham.

I have a few headphone cables made with Mogami wire. They sound great. Also wanna give a thumbs up to Kabeldirekt. I don't know that they come in 1.5 ft lengths but their 3 ft cable is standard in my living room.

For basic RCA cables, I've been quite happy with the Amazon branded cables. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics...ld=1&keywords=rca+cable&qid=1620223878&sr=8-4
One of my main complaints with most other brands is that they are needlessly stiff and plasticky. The Amazon Basics ones seem to be built well, and the cable itself is pliable and soft. I second the suggestion above for the KabelDirekt brand, have had a few that worked out well for me.

I second the bluejeans cables. Best bang for buck imo.
