Am disappointed! Cable madness!

Within a short time one of the two cables purchased from me was broken.
What kind of work in a stereo system which is installed in a wall unit to identify and then resolve such a defect!
The cable makes a very high-quality impression, but unfortunately that is no guarantee.
Even the cable is too stiff for some applications.
Now I have two Y-cable for each 4.75. Look cheap, are flexiebel, operate reliably, making sound no difference in my high-end system.
Well, the cable madness !!
