what's a good place to buy cables, still monoprice? - space-time - 07-09-2011

if I go with monoprice, I will be using paypal or a virtual cc number

I need a FW 800/400 cable, a HDMI cable and a composite component cable (YPbPr). I plan to order all 3 at monoprice to save on shipping, unless there is a better site our there.

Thanks

Monoprice works for me.

Firefold.com for me mainly because mainly it's within driving distance.

For B&M stores, I've found that sometime Big Lots has good prices, but selection is very limited. Found it out several years ago when I had just spent a bunch of money on Component cables, then happened to be at Big Lots the next week and saw a set there for less than half what I'd paid elsewhere. Promptly returned the other cables and have used the Big Lots ones for years with no problems.

Monoprice rocks... I think they learned their lesson regarding site security.

Amazon if you have prime. Monoprice if not.

The prices are good, the quality is ok.

None of the cables I've bought are stellar quality, but they're a decent valute.

I filter the items that support Prime and then just pick the lowest price then move up. I look for things like triple shielding, extra features, and user comments.
