Outlaw makes their own cables, and they currently have two products available (with more coming this spring). Check out this page for details on their analog audio and optical digital cables. They are excellent cables. A 75-ohm coax cable (for digital audio, composite video, and component video) is going to be available this spring.

Dan (or anyone) have you tried any of the IXOS cables from AC4L.com? Saw they have some nice-looking 2m S-Video cables on sale for about $30 (from $50). Still looking around for cables...

Dan Issacs is correct. The gray AR cables are the "PRO" series". There is a wide variety of lengths and types available. I looked at the IXOS cables but decided that the AR's were a better value unless you find the IXOS line on sale.

I have had AR Master Series for about 2 months now and they are by far, better then any other cable AR makes. Monster stuff doesnt come close in my opinion. Monster cables seem to slightly color the sound and thats not the intent of cables.

I previously used the Pro series from AR and liked them but like I said, the Master Series is better in all aspects. With my gear, music is less bright which makes listening more relaxing.

I got mine at HHgregg, here are the prices and types I use....

6 ft. toslink $60.00
6 ft. coax digital $60.00
12 ft. component video $130.00
2 pair of 15 ft. 10 gauge speaker cable..$110.00 (2 pair in each container) I had to buy 3 of them)

So there alone I spent almost $600.00. This might seem outrageous to some but I believe I got my $$'s worth

I am interested in Outlaws cables so I think I'll order some this week when I get paid..Happy Listening!

As long as you feel satisfied with your purchase, that's all that matters. I just bought myself one of Outlaw's optical cables for my satellite connection and was VERY impressed with the build quality, packaging and performance (not necessarily in that order).

I'd be curious to hear how you think the Outlaw cables compare. Be sure and let us know!

The Toslink and coax digitial prices sound a little bit on the high side but the rest of it doesn't seem too far out of line. I've seen people pay 10x that for speaker wire... insane if you ask me.
