    I'd like to think of myself as not the biggest idiot in the world and am super-weary of rip-off scams, but know fuckall about electricity, so what you wrote is Greek to me.

    Is Monoprice a good place to buy electronics? Is it the new Newegg now that Newegg sucks? Or is it only wholesale? ...And is there actually no difference between the performance of cables/wires when it comes to average consumer needs?

        You might actually need this if your using the coax digital audio connection.

        This is truth. Cheapo RCA cables don't work for S/PDIF. That's literally the only time I've ever had cable issues, though.

      monoprice is actually a manufacturer, not resale. their whole business model is producing cheap things in-house and undercutting the competition.

        Thanks! Your thinking process while buying stuff definitely rhymes with mine. Impossible to be fully ethical, still need stuff to live life, but fuck Amazon and overpriced shiny shit.
