Pyle PPRC-X05 Professional Dual XLR to Dual RCA Cable (5 Feet) Review
Let's be honest folks. It's a cable. Wire with connectors on the ends. It works, the price is great. Buy it, plug it in and groove to the music. Simple.

AudioQuest Y splitter - one RCA male to two RCA female 6" (15.24cm) cable Review
I bought one of these along with a splitters from Monster because I needed two of them quickly, and only one (of each brand) was in stock. I was extremely impressed with the quality of the AudioQuest. It has big, beefy connectors that grip well without being hard to remove. It also has nice fabric sleeving over the wires.
I was so surprised at the quality that I went back later and bought another one to replace the Monster version.

MONSTER THX AI-YF NF Standard 2 Male To 1 Female Thx-Certified Rca Y-Adapters Review
No doubt about it. Monster makes some quality products. These are no exception. The only problem is Monster products are also very expensive. These aren't.
Inexpensive quality--that's a no-brainer.
I've managed to revamp my very old bookshelf system ('98 I believe) with all of the original speakers and built-in subs using only this cord, a subwoofer output cord (another inexpensive Monster product), and a new receiver. The sound is phenomenal!

AudioQuest Y splitter - one RCA female to two RCA male 6" (15.24cm) cable Review
This is typical of AudioQuest products; so if you want to make sure there are no "weakest links" in your audio use this; subwoofers, etc. If you have high-end interconnects, this is what you need. Monster typically includes a Y-cable with its subwoofer cables, but AudioQuest does not.

RCA CRF940 RF Modulator & Video Switcher with Gold-Plated Connectors Review
Very disatisfied. Non working product. My kids threw away the box and receipt that came with the product or else I would have returned it. The worst 30 - 40 dollars I have spent in a long time. I almost chose not to order anymore from Amazon after this bad experience!!! Not recommended at all - after all it did not work. I gave it 1 star because it did not give me the option to give it a negative 5 stars!!!!!!!1

RCA Indoor/outdoor Amplified Tv Antenna Review
Good reception for the price. This is not a one-person installation - I managed to whack myself on the head several times (the hinge holding the two sides together is very flexible) trying to find the right location to get the best signal. Of the several antennas I have tried (all RCA) this one was definitely the best overall.

Rca VH606 Digitaal Rg6 Coaxial Cable - 6 Foot Length Review
Works well as advertised. Although the specs are not detailed enough. Did some research and all I could find is that this coax cable has a copper center conductor. Hope this helps.

RCA VH48 Splitters (3-way) Review
After installing this splitter I had problems with my TV(HDTV)reception. I ended up having my cable company come for a service call. The splitter was the culprit, not allowing good signal through... this was, in fairness, an "inexpensive" splitter and I should have known better. But for installations where quality signal matters such as with HDTV I would not recommend this splitter.

Belkin PureAV Miniplug to RCA Y Audio Cable (7 Feet) Review
If you are interested in having your Mac Mini be an HTPC (home theater PC), then these cables are pretty much the best option out there for getting sound. The Mac Mini is very limited when it comes to connectivity to a home theater. One of the missed opportunities Apple made in creating the Mac Mini was coming to realize the potential of the Mini as an HTPC. HDMI connectivity would have been the best and easiest means as a form of connecting the Mini to a receiver. Instead, you either have to buy a separate video cable, as well as a separate audio cable.
This is where the Belkin cables come into play. I have the Pioneer Elite VSX-94TXH receiver. To connect the Mac Mini to the receiver, I connect the Mac Mini to an HDMI port using a DVI/HDMI cable. That covers the video end, now for the audio, I have to connect the Belkin Cables into a stereo audio port. I use the DVD port for this. The rest involves going into my receivers menu and assuring that the correct audio signal is connected to the right video port.
Because these are RCA plugs, don't expect 5.1 audio sounds. You're going to get stereo, and only stereo. However, this can be countered by using your receiver's preset stereo settings. I use Ext. Stereo to give me illustrious sound from my rear channels. It's not true 5.1 audio, but it mimics it good enough.
All in all, they're just simple cables. However for their price and build quality, which isn't that bad, I would have to suggest these as the best option for people who desire using their Mac Mini as an HTPC.

Cables To Go - 27993 - 25ft S-Video & 3.5mm Stereo Audio To 3 RCA Adapter Cable Review
Purchased these to be able to watch online TV shows (on Hulu.com, Joost.com, major networks and local channels, etc.) from my computer on my good, old analog tv, when we could no longer afford cable. Works great! Picture is very good, sound is, too. Not perfect, but very good and FREE tv! We had to figure out the correct settings on our computer, initially, but after that, it's smooth sailing! Lots of free tv, when WE want to watch it! This is better than cable tv! Fewer commercials, too! Cables are heavy, very sturdy, seem to be of good quality, better than expected, 25ft. length is nice; plugs are sturdy and strong. Very happy! Have paid for themselves by not needing cable tv. Would purchase again!

Cables To Go - 40615 - 12ft Velocity 3.5mm Stereo Male to Dual RCA Male Y-Cable (Blue) Review
The title says it all -- a very fair price ($13 at the time I bought it) for a very good length cord. This is a better deal than you can find most places. It does everything you need it to, and although the gauge is relatively thin, it works fine, and I don't notice any sound quality loss or distortion at all. Pleased.

6FT Rca Audio Video Cable Value Series Review
Value Series RCA Audio/Video Cables are the right choice for connecting your VCR, DVD, TV and other audio/video equipment to your TV or receiver. These low-cost cables are of high quality giving you crisp, clear sound and video for less. The coax conductor's copper braid shield helps reduce unwanted noise and distortion. The connectors are color-coded for easy installation and identification and provide excellent strain relief.
