Dont try and tell me that im making this up b/c i have used generic component video cables VS accoustic research component video cables VS monster cables and even though there was no noticable difference between the accoustic research and the monsters, there was a tremendous difference between the generic vs ar/monster
however
now im looking to buy 2 optical audio cables-- 1 for cable box, 1 for dvd player
if you go to bestbuy the accoustic research cables are around 20, probably more
however...i search on ebay--- and the cheapest possible is like $3 w/ 3 shipping but those look like little tiny wires and a POS, however the 10 dollar cords with the silver connectors etc etc look fine to me...either way....can you really notice a difference in SOUND between different cables?
here is an example of one im talking about:
6 dollar horrible piece of cr@p:

13 dollar cable that looks similar to expensive ones from bb:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3064510479&category=14965
so my bottom line question is--- yes....you can definately see a difference in video signal with different quality wires...but HOW could you see a difference in audio? it wouldnt sound as crisp? i dont get it....
