Found some of these and even some Monster stuff. I can't remember where they came from, I have been finding all kinds of stuff that doesn't look like mine during packing. Are these supposed to be any good? I guess I will actually have room behind my gear to experiment with different combinations, but that I going to be a while from now. I got to get all my stuff to the new place first and if I don't get crushed in an avalanche I will have everything set up before the end of June.

    I have some of those. About 10-15 years ago, somebody was blowing them out cheap and I grabbed a few pairs as well. Just basic interconnects, nothing special.

    I found a video/digital coax, and an optical in my dad's stuff. Haven't tried them.

    I had a couple pairs a good while ago. I do remember the barrel being very tight so be careful on board-mount RCA jacks. I stopped using them after they pulled one out.

    I have no real need for them but the Optical cable looks cool, kind of a Robotech looking thing.

    PartsExpress had buyout AR cables not all that long ago in the great scheme of things (last decade? Heck, maybe last 5 or 6 years or so?). You may ask yourself why does he know this? Then again, maybe not :p

    one might espy a pair of the "AR" branded cables (the "AR" brand name now is more or less meaningless, of course... it's just a name) and a pair of dump-find MONSTAH Monster cables in the photo above -- along with some 'name brand' cables that were being 'evaluated'.
