He is right, plus the shack has some nice ones now, gold plated and everything. I doubt you would notice much of a difference anyway because you are playing mp3s to start out with.
Hey, if the best only costs $2, then why not go for it? If the $2 stuff is crap, get something better. But you don't need "premium platinum $50 exquisito" cables just because you have the best MP3 player money can buy.
There basically $30 monster cables. I think you basically paying for the material which people say they dont get tangles and there light. Still dont know what to do, i think ill get the radio shack ones.
