Yes, that's exactly what I use. Blue Jeans Cables are good quality cables.

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've used Monoprice, but my tendency is to go with Blue Jeans as they offer a better build quality for a very fair price. Most of my Monoprice cabling is either long optical cables (those 10' runs that the trusty PDO can't cover for me) and secondary sources like my VCR and DVD recorder.

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!

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