You say $200 at most but then say $60 is more than you can afford at the moment????

Honestly, I don't have a set budget on cables, I'm just trying to do it as cheaply as possible without resorting to shoddily-built cables. What I meant by that was that where I need two pairs of these (from preamp->EQ and EQ->monoblocks, about a meter long for each), it gets expensive to me fast.

I've had enough experience with IC's in autosound installation to know that the cheapest ones suck for durability, I've had good luck with cables in the past in the $20-25 range so that's where I'm most comfortable. My point in making this thread was wondering if there was any technical reason why digital coax wouldn't make a good audio cable, and if there was what I'd be losing. Personally, I would consider myself a "if a cable tests the same, it sounds the same" kinda guy, take that FWIW, I don't mean anything to anyone by that.

Thanks for the replies so far, and sorry for the long-winded response, I'm typing a lot tonight for some reason :-)
