Nov 24, 2001 3:19 PM | | If you mean, are some brands/models better than others...yes. It may be hard to tell the difference between a component video cable from target and one from Radio shack. But one from bettercables or monster compared to radio shack, wal-mart, target....yes theres a bigger difference. Some people say, cables are cables, but if that were so....companies like MIT, Bettercables, IXOS, and Monster probably would never sell their product. If you want better quality, you pay more and get quality. How much money you wanna spend and what you think is a good deal is a personal preference. Remember, companies like mentioned above are sole cable/speaker companies existing to provide quality cables. When someone compares a 20 dollar component cable to a 100 one and says they are the same, they dont know what there talking about. |

Nov 24, 2001 4:02 PM | | Has anyone ever swapped out Rat Shack Component cables and ever seen an improvement. I mean one where if your friend were switching cables, w/o you knowing which was which, you could tell the difference? How about has anyone ever seen a difference in higher priced cables? Like if someone switched out a Better cables.com for a Tributaries or something along those lines. |

Nov 24, 2001 8:58 PM | | There are reports on both sides of the fence, however, there is no valid evidence that supports like cables sounding different from one another.

Nov 28, 2001 5:17 PM | | Funny,
I thought we were talking about video cables...I didnt know that the Pr, Pb, and Py signals also carried sound....WOW!!! Now i can get rid of those stupid red and white cables taking up space behind my reciever!!!
I know it was just a slip-up, but i am showing how critical some of us can be on this site. Some people need to lighten up. |

Nov 24, 2001 9:00 PM | | we really don't know. Many claims have been made; none witnessed to the best of my knowledge. The few times I've tested myself and others, there has been no change. |

Nov 25, 2001 2:09 PM | | Reliable sources, using DBT, compared a very long 120V power cable as video cables, compared to real video cables. The answer is not to some likings though:) |

Nov 27, 2001 8:19 PM | | I just can't let sleeping dogs lie. Sorry. How can you have a DBT- Double BLIND Test- on a VIDEO cable? Gee, no wonder no one could tell the difference! Ha Ha! I kill me! |

Nov 27, 2001 9:28 PM | | You have to be joking, right? |
| I just can't.. | Warren Warren
Nov 28, 2001 3:33 AM | | Yes, it was a joke! Blind-Video, i.e. how could a blind person see any improvement? Get it? Geez, lighten up! That goes double for Mtry! |

How so? How much? |
| I beg to differ | GCM
Nov 28, 2001 8:04 AM | | Some of their cables cost hundreds of dollars. There is nothing there that competes with the 12' cable I use that cost $19.99. |

You can pay more, or you can pay much more, or you can pay much, MUCH more for a set of so-called "component video" cables, but none of them will actually perform significantly better than any other! Look better? Sure. Better build quality? You bet. But perform significantly better? No, not by the hair on this ol' fart's chinny-chin-chin.

Nov 28, 2001 5:22 PM | | what i find funny is that everyone loves the rat shack, but their component video cable costs $40....thats just as expensive as some of the exotic brands many of the people talk about on here....I should know i sell them..
God I love cable mark up!!! Pays me a ton! |

Nov 28, 2001 5:55 PM | | My preference is for good quality RG-6, which I typically optain for about $0.12/foot, plus the correct adaptors and terminations, as stated in the past and at my HT website. |
