Hey guys, You ain't just whistlin' Dixie about the price of cables! If I could find the HDMI connectors, I would build my own cables. Monster Cables are a big rip-off....in my opinion. Even the cheap Best Buy cables are over priced. The component cables, RGB, should be the as close to the same length as possible as they are "Phase Matched" but at the low frequency of the RGB signals, I would say within 0.5 inches max length deviation between the 3 cables. BTW, you left out DVI and the coax with "F" fittings. Here is an idea for one of your episodes; Is there really such things as Digital Ready cables, TV antennas, speakers, speaker wire, bananas or other stuff advertised as "Digital Ready". I contend that if the stuff is analog ready they are also "Digital Ready". Ever plugged a digital signal into a speaker? Maybe I need some "Digital Ready" ears as the speakers cannot decode a digital signal into an intelligible analog signal that my brain and ears can use. If people buy into "Digital Ready" I have some really small 10-YB Write-Only memory devices for sale. 73 Rob WD4DUI
