On most occasions, shopping for a product comes down to one common thing: You get what you paid for.

You could probably do well with a cheaper MIDI cable, but if you're budget's a bit higher or about $50 US, you could get many available options. Not sure about the gold plated ones, but here's a link that may give you more ideas.

personally never had problem with the cheapies.

Go to radio shack, get 3 three footers I believe for around 11 bucks.

I forgot length at moment....but you get 3 multi-colored midi cables. Never had a problem with them.

I use an M-audio oxygen 8 version 2

Initially i was going to use midi cables but went USB.

Same here with those exact same Radio Shack cheapo 3 packs. No problems at all for me either.
