I've bought from monoprice and they seem good, But sometimes I think they are too cheap to be the best quality.
My favorite is cobaltcable.com. They will make custom length cables (except HDMI) and I have used them for custom lenght subwoofer cables with locking connectors.
They also made me a custom "Y" cable for my buttkicker amp with 1 male to 1 male and 1 female connection.

Wow they are expensive though.

Does it matter if the cable is made in China or US? Also, is silver plated coduits much better than tin plated?

My cable needs a nice, snug fit. Too much wiggle room and that sucker will pop right out of there. Makes for some downright embarrassing moments, I can tell you!
