Well they have a good rating on ResellerRatings. Looks like you can only order off of ebay and via paypal. How quick is their shipping?

Thanks.

www.monoprice.com is my choice.

No reason to spend 3-10 times as much for the same thing.

They can also take credit cards (without paypal) via fax. The site says they ship within 48 hours, and usually less than 24 hours:

I like all the info they info they give and the fact they use all broadcast quality cables. I agree with them that the big name brands are overpriced at the big retailers. One shop I went to was pushing monster cables and $100 for a 3' component cable. I said, "What?!!! That's nuts!" and the guy said, "But yes they come with a lifetime warranty." For that kind of money they should throw in the receiver as well. They were monster 1000 something cables. I'm sure they're great but for $300 for an 8' cable. Sheesh.

Most of my stuff was bought from these two vendors. Both are reputable and have good prices.

Blue Jeans Cable, Well made, very fast shipping.

Accessories for Less, I bought all my Acoustic Research Pro II stuff from them at a fraction of retail.

I was going to buy Blue Jeans cable because their no bs marketing drew me in. But then I price compaired and I found Audioquest (ducks again) bi-wire cable for 80 cents a foot on onecall.com. Its easy to handle, and they shiped within a day.
When it comes time I need a 25 foot hdmi cable, and I don't think anyone besdies Monoprice and compete with Blue Jeans on those cables.
I know Audioquest is full of it normally, but I have had good expeirences with their products, and their rca coax ends are sweet to use.
Has anyone ever used Blue Jeans hdmi cables, and what did you think of them.

I'm using a 6' hdmi cable from Blue Jeans, cost $21.50 + sh and arrived in two days! Build quality is excellent and I have no complaints at all. For the record, It's the only hdmi cable I have ever used/owned and for the short distance I'm using, its kind of hard to mess up. It fits nice and snug in the hdmi ports, I'm not worried about it falling out like I've heard some others do easily. Also, I have a couple of toslink cables they made and they fit nice and snug too. My ARII toslinks came loose quite often, so I replaced them with the BJ ones and am extremely happy (+ the BJ toslinks were cheaper).

I'll put a vote in for monoprice.com

I ordered all of the cables/accessories (100 ft of 14ga audio cable, 3 digital coax cables, 10 banana plugs) for my 5.1 system from them. Around $50 total. I got shipping/tracking info the same day and got my stuff in 3 days.

Also have ordered a bunch of computer cables from them, same results: very cheap, shipped that day, arrived within 3 days.

And when I get around to buying a new HDTV, I'll be buying any needed cables from monoprice.com.
