Sorry for derailing your thread.
(It's been pretty informal here...Mostly my fault-LOL)
There ARE "Really good" cables, that cost a fortune and there are Radio Shack cables that aren't exactally free either, but I believe there are some quality medium price range cables that should do nicely.
It's a weird call. Some might say if you're using just a few cables get really good ones, Others will say get ALL good cables no matter what.
And some will say they can't tell the difference between Good and cheap and a war will start over it.
I have a mix of both and some cheap ones are trashed and some nice ones are too, but the nicer ones did take longer to trash, yet I can't say their life span justfied the cost.
If you mean insert cables I don't know that Radio Shack makes them, but I could be wrong.
Guitar and speaker (And if I can swing it, Mic ) cables IMO have to be good... I've never seen a cheap guitar cable that didn't end up pissing someone off sooner or later.
Medium range guitar cables are ok too.
Hopefully someone here can recommend a quality cable brand that won't break the bank.
Again, sorry for threadjacking
