I am a member of the camp that believes mega-dollar video cables are largely a waste of money unless you have an absolutely top-end video display/monitor that has been professionally calibrated by an ISF technician. Assuming you have an analog set, the primary technical specification that is of concern in the ohm-rating of the cable: it should be a very accurate 75 ohms. I have tried various video component cables with my Sony WEGA monitor, and eventually selected a set made by BetterCables. I have not used their Silver Serpent Reference cables, but currently am using its predecessor and have been VERY pleased with the performance.
What is the best component video cable available?
I am going to be picking up a new component video cable with rca connectors and I need some opinions from my audiogon friends. What is your favorite component video calbe regardless of cost? I am considering Audioquest
YIQ-5, Acoustic Zen Silver Byte component, and Silver Serpent reference cable. Are there any others that I should be looking into? Thanks in advance.
