I've also never gotten poor-quality cables with
any of my AV gear, but then,
I only have purchased fairly reputable brands (e.g., Denon, Epson, Kenwood,
Marantz, Onkyo, Panasonic, Philips, Pioneer, Sony, Tascam/Teac). I don't
doubt that crappy (or no-name) brands might provide crappy cables, if they
bothered to provide any at all.
Back in 2000, I bought a Pioneer amplifier and DVD player for roughly ?300
each, so not exactly low-end kit. There were still crappy leads in the box.
These things are really just starter cables to test the device works and which
are expected to be replaced almost immediately, much like the dribble of ink or
dusting of toner that comes with a new printer.
