High quality supplies -Y cable for Bi-amping?

I wouldn't disagree with your observations Zumbo on the elCheapos, but RS does sells Monster for about $10 a pop that is equivilent to the $5 AR you posted. Just trying to encourage the OP to give it a go.

Monster is on my link for 9.99 as well.

Anyhow, by the time you add $8 for shipping you might as well buy local from RS or or go to any other local merchant that stocks decent cables.

But in this case, four cables are needed. So, by the time you add tax, gas, and time, it's easier, and cheaper to order online.

So you say that RS sucks, but they're selling Monster and AR? Those are at least two of your recommended cables. You look for the cheapest junk they have and then use that to justify a blanket statement that RS sucks?

Believe me, I'm not in love with RS. At all. But bashing them just for the sake of it?

OOPS. Two cables. My bad. The power went off right when I posted.

Yep! I said RS cables suck. It doesn't get any clearer than that. You can be a pain. I wish I would have just left you on my ignore list. Oh well, back to the list you go.

RS cables suck. It's just the way it is.

IXOS, Tributaries, AR, or Monster would be my choice. BJC would be first, but I didn't see any.

It's the connector. They use a cheap slotted design that will loose it's grip. They can put gold on them, but they are still crap.

I have never actually pulled the cable apart to see the connection of the cable to the connector. I figure if they are using such a POS connector, they probably don't care too much about how the cable is connected to it.
