I am sure this has been asked a lot but looking for best price on cables.
I just bought my first HDTV and now will need to get cables to make the most of it. I am looking for good prices on component and coaxial cables. I know Monster cables are incredibly over priced but I am looking for good quality with out the Monster Ouch! to my wallet. I am using optical from my dvd player to my receiver but need a better sound going from my tv to my receiver. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't purchased from them but have heard, again and again, that Blue Jeans Cable produces a great product at reasonable prices.
For the even-more-budget-minded, Acoustic Research products are apparently also a good value; the Performance Series can be found at Best Buy and at numerous e-tailers, and on FleaBay for considerably less. The Pro and Master Series cables from AR, their higher-end stuff, are supposedly excellent.

I bought some "older" Acoustic Research cables off E-Bay recently and I know I couldn't have bought them here in town at the price I paid for. These are "new" but like last or previous year model. Stock over-runs,store closing-who knows or cares. I got two of the top line 6' Optic Cable that was two years old ,still new in the box at $10 each. There was still a price tag on the packaging that was - $50 each!
The two I dealt with on E-Bay are-

another vote for bluejeanscable.com excellent cables at a relatively (relative to quality) great price. I also have a few arproII cables and ar master series cables - I'd say that the ar master series component cables compete well with the bluejeanscable component cables in build quality - although I'm not sure what cable was used for the ar master series cables. I would steer away from the vanilla acoustic research cables, I believe ac4l.com has an ongoing sale on the ar pro1's and ar pro2's
