Default Monster RCA cables vs. regular RCA cables for analog devices

I've used ordinary audio cables to pass S/PDIF digital audio. You can't
use a very long cable, but just about any pre-made RCA cable has done
OK for me up to about 6 feet. And for not much money, you can buy real
75 ohm cable with RCA connectors on both ends under the guise of "video
cable" which is the right stuff for S/PDIF.
