I used Blue Jeans cables for a component video in wall run and they were excellent, never had any problems.
I would not spend any more than BJ cables, but I am not a believer in high-end cables.

These will work for hooking up the Sacd/DVD Audio for audio, right?

Thanks guys! I hope to hear some improvement...
I just bought 18 of these puppies on ebay for $100. Couldn't afford not to buy 'em.

FWIW, I've also gotten consistently good products and good support from monoprice.com.

Yep.
"Belden 1694A is also a superb choice for analog audio; its foil/braid shield, though slightly less effective at excluding low-frequency EMI than 1505F's double braid shield, provides better RFI rejection, so 1694A may provide better shielding performance if you are beset with RFI issues."
I use it for the 5.1 analog audio outputs from my hd-dvd player to the 990.

Signal Cables is a ripoff. Anyone who tries to sell you a silver or silver coated digital coax cable is just trying to fleece you.

You can't find a better cable that Bluejeans - topnotch components and excellent build quality. Probably a bit of overkill for most applications, but as stated earlier, never pay more for a cable than Bluejeans.
Monoprice has good products and I use them also.

I use the Stereovox Xv2 which is for Audiophile, a very high end coax. For less $, I highly say use the Signal Cables Silver Resolution Reference Digital Interconnect which has Bullet plugs. These conform to the 75ohm impedance! http://signalcable.com/silverresolutiondigital.html

Yeah, that 75ohm impedance is a really tricky thing to implement.
