raido shack has saved my life on more than one occasion. I have at least three of their 6.99 rca cables as back ups because it seems like anytime I buy an "expensive cable" its just a matter of time until it breaks. never have a problem with the rs rca's. granted it might be better to have a heavier duty wire rca system but I really cant tell any difference between the cheap RS rca's and the premier rca's out there.
