Monoprice is ok but it's not pro quality. I can offer you a 50" studio quality quad conductor cable with 95% braided shield and Neutrik connectors for $46.50. Less in quantity.

I always typically go to ebay. Since it's hard to find them locally. But I always have an issue with the price. As it's always (or usually) cheaper on Ebay. Not to mention hassle free to get the cables I need

http://www.speakerrepair.com/ good quality and they come colored which helps in tracing lines.

Canare L2T2S with Neuktrik connectors - home made. The cable for me is $3.47/m and then whatever the specific connectors cost..

Monoprice makes some decent cables, but whatever you do... DON'T get their RCA's... Worst I have ever purchased - I'd rather use Wal-Mart RCA's.

Quoted for truth!

Wish they made 1/8" stereo-to-XLR.

I like their premium RCA super thick, the connectors are too tight at first and they need to be broken in to open up a bit.

That's what I've bought in the past and have never had any issues with them. So far so good.

The premium RCA are not flexible at all. Was worried their XLR & pro audio cables would be the same, but they're not, thankfully.

audiopile.net has great deals on cables - make sure you get the premium ones with Neutrik connectors.

The cheapest way by far is to buy a roll of Belden 8412 and Neutrik XX series ends and make your own. If you don't know how to solder, it's pretty easy to pick up quickly.

I agree with the above - I have ordered here before as well with good results.

Also, similar name but different company - Mike from AudioPyle.com has make me some very nice custom cables, from 30A Powercon to XLR etc...

If I am ordering from the bigger chain stores I like CBI

Certainly though the most cost effective, as mentioned before is make them yourself.
