Heres a question i hope you all find interesting enough to answer.
Q. Do people in the USA find UK cables better or worse and vice versa?
I personally have no experience of US cables and therefore cannot comment but i'm very interested to see what everyone else thinks. Also price differences for relatively the same cables.
heres hoping for a few answers.

John,
I spend most of my working days in the States and all of my days off in the UK.
Whilst having had no direct buying experience of cables in the States, I have seen expensive bubble packed sets of cables for sale in places such as Best Buy etc. BB, I think, isn't by any means at the high end of what's available, so I can only surmise that cables are expensive for our colonial friends ;-)
Having said that the quality of any cable is fairly subjective - aside from the technical qualities of said cable which HiFi magazines will quote at you.
One of the great pluses that Europe has over the rest of the world is the SCART standard, which as I'm sure you know can handle most AV requirements (except Digital audio) and provides automatic switching and sizing to the source. Something the rest of the world seems happy to ignore. C'est La Vie!
ATB,
Phil

SCART. Like the idea but the connector, itself, is awful.
