Just for the information of the group, I once read a report on

My own experience with A/V cables is a bit different. I personally
think people who swear by expensive, "quality" cables are just kidding
themselves because they can't admit to themselves that they just wasted
a bundle of money on expensive cables.
Unless your room happens to house a high voltage generator that powers
your block, I'll buy you a bottle of your favorite single malt if you
can tell the difference between Walmart brand or your super crazy
expensive "audiophile-approved" cables when used on even a higher end
consumer home theater system. I'll accept there might be a small dB
difference, but if you can hear the difference then either the "cheap"
cable is from the 70's, or you're an alien.
Not too long ago, I was at a local electronics/audio store (I needed a
longer S-video cable) and some guy beside me was about to pay $40 for a
"gold plated, high quality, digital coaxial audio cable." $40!! I
didn't even try to stop him, because as much as I'm socially liberal,
I'm also also capitalist, and I'm all for raping ignorant consumers.
But the truth is that the $5 RCA cable about 2 feet to his left would
have done exactly the same job, particularly because it's digital.

however regardless of your rant, UTP carries a better signal. Thats why
we use it in networking instead of coax, in networks we grew out of coax
in the eighties apart from the odd ring of posterity.
