Yeah me too..Don't know how I survived and thrived this long without that vast repository of knowledge.

I think we understand the difference between a shielded cable and an unshielded cable and where they are used and why.....Where we part ways is there is no need for a $50 shielded cable. ANY halfway decent shielded cable is sufficient to pass low level line signals.No need for "hocus pocus" cables.

Monoprice.com makes great cables and far less cost than any "boutique" cable.

Ever see the prices on HDMI cables at Wal Mart? They take advantage of the avg Jpe like Monster takes advantage of the above average joe....
