Better Cables.com

Any opinions on Better cables.com's cables? Anybody has had a chance to compare them with the "namebrands". And is there a level of sophistication in the cable making process, where an ordinary human ear simply will not be able to tell the difference, only your wallet would? i.e the return on the mucho $$$$$ spent on cables, diminishes rapidly beyond a certain level. Thanks.

I have their component video cable in my system, looks good but have never compared it to any others. It appears to be three color coded Canare cables in a common braid (at least the terminations look just like the ones on my Canare digiflex 1). Price was good. I will say that their customer service and build quality are first rate.

Their video/digital cables are just fine. I use them in my home theater with good results. I used to use more expensive Monster or MIT video/digital cables, but the BetterCables are a better deal. I don't use their audio cables.

I have used bettercables.com for 17 years. I started with their IC's. Started with RCA, and moved to the XLR. I liked both over generic cables. I tried their blue truth ( silver clad copper) speaker cables. I am still using them. I moved past the IC's however, I still think they are good and a great value. I use Shunyata  IC' now, which I prefer on my system.
