If we can ignore the fact that AudioQuest tries to sell you HDMI cables at the price of a car, how are their "cheapest" solutions? The ones that cost around 20-30 bucks for an aux cable, like the Tower series. My naive assumption is that it'll still sound better than any of the cheap crap you get included with most gadgets and is worth the small investment. But I don't know, and I have no references for comparison, as I know too little about the subject.

I have not tried the Tower series, but I have replaced nearly all of the rca cables in my house with Forest/Green cables. Vast improvement over the cheap stock cables. After I noticed the improvement made by the Forest cables, I jumped straight to Carbon/Sydney for my headphone dac and amp. Sounds great. 
 
For a long time I believed the nay-sayers that cords could not make a difference. I'm glad I took the time to find out for myself.

Forest is entirely made of digital products. Not even gonna comment that.
 
Sydney. I can see a cable starting at 155 bucks for 0.6m being better than your average cable included with an iPhone, but I was specifically curious about the entry ones.

I said Green, but Evergreen is the correct name. Forest and Evergreen are the same cable, different connections. Anyway, I use Evergreen RCA on TV/DVD connections to receivers and Evergreen 3.5 cord in the car to connect DAP. I am very pleased with the price/performance of these $35 cables. YMMV.
