Need good Component Video Cables

Just bought a Sony DVP-S9000ES player and a 55" Mitsubishi Diamond series HD-ready TV. I bought some monster cable just so I could hook it up out of the store, then I upgraded to a run of Transparent. The picture now has a slight overshadow (ghosting?) to it. I've tried rearranging cables and power cords, but to no avail. I know it is the component cable, because when I use the Monster cable the image has no shadow. $60 Monster cable bested $300 Transparent, go figure. Can someone recommend a good, shielded, component video cable--a 3 meter run--that is priced between $500 and $1000? Thanks.

I'm using the transparent cable it's great! What is likly happening is someone removed part of the connector to peek on the inside. There is a warning in the box that says this messes up the grounding sceme. That will cause your ghost image. (umm..I know from personal experience).

The transparent cable is one of the best out there...I'd get it fixed
