where do you guys buy (online) your HDMI/ RCA cables/speaker/ Audio Video cables?

I'm looking into purchasing a whole new set since our setup requires at least 15ft of cables.

our set up is almost like this:

Monoprice http://www.monoprice.com/home/index.asp

A simple Google search would've brought this up.

I would also suggest Blue Jeans cables. Very good pricing on quality cables including long runs. They have a few cable choices depending on run length and explanations on each of the cables.

I buy 90% of my A/V cables from monoprice, as well as some of my misc PC cables (power cables, usb cables, etc.). Great prices, great products. My dad was blown away at the quality of the HDMI cables I got him for Christmas compared to the price (I left the invoice in the box :doh:)

The #1 rule in cabling and such is to always buy at a traditional brick and mortar store. The prices you'll get there will always be much less than online, or if not less, the cables will be so much better that your 2d content will look like it'd 3D and your 3D content will pull out your eyeballs and insert them into the head of the main character in whatever you're watching to justify a $50 price tag on a $6 cable. Or, at least, that's what they'd like you to think.

Seriously though, I like FireFold.com. They may be a tad pricier than monoprice, but they buy a lot more of their product domestically. Everything that they can get from the US they do. And in fairness, in the USA our quality control is actually a lot better than some of the questionable places out there.

Partsexpress.com
Monoprice
Blue Jeans
Amazon (totally underrated)
MCM Electronics
Small dealers, those who have good ratings.

Also note that Amazon will show Monoprice and Parts Express prices compared to eachother.

Almost always the cheapest option is the one with free shipping. When I buy cables, I always keep an eye out for that (shipping costs more than the cable).
