It seems that the same 50ft roll of 12 ga Sound King speaker wire can also be found here for 18.95. Does anyone have any experience with StartElectronic?

I took Barry BB's advice and ordered all my interconnects from Accessories for Less (A/R Pro Series) and my 12ga. speaker wire and banana connectors from Parts Express, total was $203.80 and that includes 2 day shipping so I will have all the stuff for the weekend.I bought some bulk Monster 12 ga speaker wire and the local Radio Shack is out of banana plugs. I've heard alot of descriptions of which banana plugs to hook them up to. I want the twist on, not the solder-on kind. I don't want to make any more mistakes in ordering and add to the vast collection of wires and plugs I already own and can't use.
Which part number did you order from Parts Express? Was it #Part Number 091-330, "GOLD BANANA PLUG PAIR COMPRESSION STYLE" for $3.25/3.45/pair?

091-1165, $4.50 ea (1-9) $3.90 (10+). I bought exactly 10 since I have a 5.1 system.
This was my first experience with banana connectors and I found these easy to use and haven't had any problems in the past month...
Good Luck.

Those component cables from Wal-Mart & Target sure are attractive from a $ standpoint, but component cables are an area where quality cabling can often be seen to make a difference. Bandwidth issues, etc. The larger the display, or if HD signals are being passed, the more likely cables may make a difference.Tell me about it. I originally used one of those cheap component cables from Target for my connection from HTPC -> HDTV. With Avia I could see that I was getting major Y/C delay errors. Replacing the component cable with one from Acousting Reseach (which still wasn't that expensive) completely cleared this problem up.
Or is bettercables.com another "ultimate ripoff"?I no way are bettercables a ripoff. If you are ever curious as to why so many people cannot believe the difference that bettercables make just pick up a set and try it out for yourself. They have a very generous return policy if you aren't satisfied.
