I am still using the Yellow-Red-white that kind of cheap cable for all my connection, which usually comes free as an accessory with AV equipment purchase; like DVD player, VCR, Play-Station...etc. They work flawlessly.

Do not ever believe in people claming that certain type of cable will make your system sounds better; it is just plain ridiculous. If you ever see a pair of audio cable sells more than $100 dollars, you know it has a problem.

If you've got some Best Buy gift cards, you might also look at the Acoustic Research cables they carry - they tend to be less expensive than Monster, and I don't think that Monster is any better.

I agree with Gonk. The AR's are not that bad.

Not that bad?

I think they are good, especially for the price.

I ended up getting acoustic research.

Can I used the leftover channel (had to buy 8 since they come in pairs) for a subwoofer - do you really need a special cable for a sub or is that a marketing ploy?

You can use the leftover for the sub, since it is the same analog preamp output as the other seven - the only thing "special" about a sub cable is length smile .
