Thanks for the input.
OK -- Here's an update. Decided to go with all AR Pro II cables. Found a great selection of in stock AR cables at the best prices at beachaudio.com.
The specs on the Pro II line from AR are outstanding and the price point is terrific considering the quality -- a good value propostion IMO.
Ordered the following last Friday --
2 HDMI - 6' ($35.99 ea)
4 Digital optical audio - 6' ($14.99 ea)
1 Subwoofer - 15' w/Y-adapter ($14.99)
1 DVI-HDMI adapter ($27.99)
1 RCA audio Y-adapter - needed for an old mono source ($9.99)
$5.00 shipping
Should arrive by Thursday. I'll post how I like them next week after getting everything hooked up next weekend.
Also heres a link to the AR cables web site
http://www.araccessories.com/Cultures/en-US/Recoton+AR/ -- consulting this site was indispensable since the descriptions on many cable supplier web sites really lack -- sometimes they don't even list the cable length!! So I just found what I need on the AR site and noted the model numbers. Then ordered by model number from beachaudio.
