Monoprice Premium Two-Channel Audio Cable - 3 Feet - Black | 2 RCA Plug to 2 RCA Plug 22AWG, Male to Male

This is an excellent RCA cable at a very fair price. The fit is snug, the connectors feel solid, and the cable itself has that “premium but not overpriced” Monoprice build quality I’ve come to expect. I used it from my DAC to my headphone amplifier, and it performed flawlessly — no noise, no looseness, no surprises. Monoprice consistently manufactures some of the best cables available, and this one is no exception. I would absolutely buy it again. If you need a reliable, well‑built RCA cable that feels like it will last, this is a great choice.

Works great.

I have an extremely modular Hi-Fi setup that includes numerous interconnects adjoining various pieces of gear, so the quality of the cables I use is very important. In the past I've cheaped-out with cables that worked fine for their prices but were far from what I would consider "audiophile grade". The Monoprice cables actually offer the best of both worlds: exceptional audio-quality at a remarkably low price. These cables punch FAR above their price range by offering the absolute cleanest noise floor I've ever heard with my audio gear. They absolutely eradicated the low-level hum coming from my Klipsch subwoofer after I swapped out the old cables connecting my SUT and phono stage. Now I can adjust the input impedance of my SUT to whatever level I want without hearing a trace of hum, and it's even improved the (already very low) noise floor of my loudspeakers. Are there options that give you even better results? Probably. But you'd likely be spending at least ten times more for the privilege, and that delta in price just isn't worth it to me. The only drawback I can really identify for these cables is their lack of flexibility. As others have noted they are extremely stiff, which makes connecting devices in very close proximity somewhat cumbersome. They definitely function better when you have a little more space to work with in your setup. That being said, I'm not so bothered by it since the thickness likely contributes to the excellent shielding and (consequently) the exceptionally-low noise floor. Overall, I think these are some of the best "bang-for-your-buck" RCA cables on the market and I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Got one of the 1.5' cables today. As most have described the cable is stiff but that shouldn't be an issue if you are connecting a receiver to a component on top of it or maybe one above that. As long as you don't have a depth issue because the cable will stick out a little ways if the inputs on the component connected is directly above it. As for the connectors, they appear to be nice. 3 of the 4 fit good. Not too loose or tight. But one of them was a little too loose. Tried to squeeze it shut with my fingers and that didn't work so I used a pliers and lightly squeezed on it which tightened it up. Was maybe a little too tight but was still able to get it on. So better that is a little loose than too tight because you can tighten them up, just have to be very careful. As for sound quality. I didn't A/B test it with another cable but the sound was as good as I think I could get with an analog cable. With all the complaints about the connectors being too loose or too tight you would think they would do a little more quality control. The stiffness issue shouldn't be a problem if you use the right length of cable. And I recommend separating the cables so you have 2 and then the cables can be moved around easier. Going to order another one for different component.

I purchased these cables to replace the thin stock RCA cables that came with my DAC, which I use to play audio from my computer via Toslink. The original cables were prone to interference, causing random humming and static that could only be cleared up by adjusting the position of the DAC or cables. The Monoprice cables solved those issues perfectly. The thicker shielding greatly reduced interference, and the audio quality now comes through crystal clear without any static. However, the thicker cables can be a bit cumbersome to manage. They tend to pull or tug on whatever they’re connected to, making cable management trickier. Additionally, in my case, the white cable doesn’t stay snug all the way into the DAC unit on my setup. If I'm not careful, it can come loose if forcibly bumped or moved too abruptly. But aside from that minor nitpick of thick cables, I’ve had no other issues. Overall, these cables have significantly improved the sound quality and reduced/eliminated interference.

I've purchased Monoprice before and have always been very pleased. They make a great product. I purchased these for a short, high quality run. The cables are remarkably heavy and thicker than you'd expect due to the excellent insulation. They're very flexible, but feel like I can use it as a dog leash. That's not meant to be bad, I'm just impressed! The sound quality is terrific with no hum or extraneous sounds. One thing that a few other reviewers remarked on is that the connections are remarkably tight. That's generally a good thing but they are R E A L L Y T I G H T. They surely won't come off on their own, and it's even difficult to pull them off with your fingers. As long as you are not frequently swapping cables they are fine...just something to note. I'm overall very pleased and impressed with the quality!

Update: Be aware that some cables are Prime Shipping and Returnable. Some are Prime BUT NOT RETURNABLE! 6ft returned, 3ft non returnable. Read the description carefully for the exact item/length you choose and be sure they are keepers! original: Heed the reviews that state the outer rings are too loose! Heed my review that states that the fingers are made of a brittle pot metal construction! Ordered two 6 foot and one 3 foot Premium RCAs. Arrived in great condition and in a timely manner…right in the middle of my install! The 6 footers are way too loose, the 3 footer was great. Looked great but the outer/ground rings were oversized and fit loosely. I slightly pinched the segments tighter and tried the fit again. Still a bit loose but way better, I pinched them ever so slightly tighter. Tried the fit and now a hair too tight. I remember reading the reviews during which the ground rings came too tight from the factory and separated from the cable, got stuck on or damaged the host RCA jack. Safe to say they have rectified the issue of being too tight. Not wanting any of this to happen, I attempted to slightly open the pair of fingers (there are six) that appeared to be the culprits. Dang if it didn’t just crack off! The connector’s fingers are made of a fragile pot metal, not a nice steel construction. Well, looking at the bright side, at least with the one finger gone, it fits perfectly on my Zuki amp! I expected more from Monoprice. Everything purchased to date has usually been a quality offering at a very competitive price. My cables are still perfectly functional but I should not have had to “tune up” and adjust the connectors. I have never had this issue in over 30 years of car and home audio installs. I remember the one review that stated “the cheap generic red & white Radio Shack type cables fared better. I have to agree. Maybe Monoprice’s supplier will adjust or retool one more time…to fit just right. C’mon, its mot rocket science!

👍🏻

Perfect for a small run behind amp and components

very good! just what i needed

Excellent and quality cable for he price. High quality terminations. Fairly thick for snaking through drywall but is always the case. Shippig was Fast

Received in a couple of days, very happy. Quality fine, not picking up RF, great price, product and service. Recommended!

Really high quality RCA cable and just the perfect length between components. The connections to the input and output is very firm and tight. Also the thickness of the cable is ideal since it doesn’t just hang down like a regular thinner RCA cable would, making the cable management easier.
