I bought my cables at Home Depot and Fry's. Even after shipping I may have spen a $1 or 2 more per set but I think I got very good stuff.
Home Depot Sells 6ft RCA Component Video cables for $16.95 but were out of Optical cables. I paid $19.99 for a 6ft Phillps cable at Fry's. The lower levle Phillips cables were $12.99 for Component Video and their premium Phillips stuf was $16.99 - $19.99.
Plus I have the added benefit of retrunring cables which I ended up doing at Home Depot.
