I purchased 1.3a category 2 certified 28AWG 6 ft hdmi cables through monoprice that work equally well with the Steren gold-tipped video cables provided by my cable company. The cable guy told me they are equivalent, and I would agree with that after having compared them myself. However the cable guy did also tell me that optical audio cables would be needed to match the quality that hdmi cables would provide. I do not have a surround sound system so can't judge the difference on that. Ultimately I went with the hdmi cables because there is only one plug on each end and so simpler to disconnect and reconnect if need be. PS I also compared top of the line Monster Cable HDMI (over $100 each!) to the monoprice $5 cables and couldn't tell any difference. This is on a Sony 1080p xbr4 120hz tv with a Playstation 3 for Blu Ray/dvd player. I say if component cables work better for you, go with them.

Hey I was stuck in your boat as well. Today, I bought the Auvio 1/8" 3ft stereo cable from Radio Shack for $16.50 after taxes. The cable works perfectly with my Studios. The cable also feels more durable and looks nice.

Hi George. The first cable I purchased was bad. The second works well and feels pretty good. Most Monoprice cables have a high failure rate (they are not all tested like everyone claims) and my 2nd one works great. The cable is tiny like the white Apple USB cables. I use mine to connect to my laptop and TV and have been happy with it. It does coil a little up on itself but most long cables do that. Hope this helps.Kurt

Mediabridge USB 2.0 - Micro-USB to USB Cable (6 Feet) - High-Speed A Male to Micro B - (Part# 30-004-06B )also you can try contacting the great customer support at Sharkk: Support@SHARKK.com, address to Spencer, he may be able to help or sell you a replacement.

Audiovox is the "current" dice. The mediabridge simply offers more options that the duo. One of which is bluetooth phone.

Why go to RS when Amazon is cheaper? I can't believe anyone here would suggest going to RS.... Amazon has these, for example:Extreme 3 Way Unbalanced HD Digital 1GHz High Performance Coax Cable Splitter - BDS103HEXTREME 3 WAY BALANCED HD DIGITAL 1GHz HIGH PERFORMANCE COAX CABLE SPLITTER - BDS103HB

For anyone wanting to purchase low-priced audio/video cables (HDMI, DVI, component etc), here is a great website - www.monoprice.comI ordered from this company 4 times in the past year, and they usually ship the same day. Be sure to select Priority Mail if you want the quickest delivery. Don't overpay for "name-brand" HDMI cables, when monoprice has them for around $10 (different lengths have various prices). Hope this info helps!

I cannot answer that but the Mediabridge website should be able to help you. I can only tell you that I was using a cheaper cable and had nose problems in my recording applications which disappeared when I changed to the Mediabridge cables.

No. You can get a cable for ~ $10 shipped from monoprice.com I personally use these cables and recommend them to everyone.Cable quality matters far less where digital cables are concerned. If you are still unsure, you can visit www.avsforum.com for more A/V enthuiasts who use and recommend these products.
