Component Video Cable Diminishing Returns?


Where does the performance/price curve start to flatten out for video cables?

I was planning to purchase the Belden 7710A component video cables (three 1694A cables in one jacket) with Canare connectors from Ram Electronics because they seem like a good value, but then a friend offered to get me a deal on Audioquest cables. I could get Audioquest YIQ-X or maybe even YIQ-1 for just a little more than the Belden cables. Normally they would be 2 - 4 times the cost.

Will I see any picture quality difference between these cables? Any chance that the Audioquest cables might actually look worse than the Ram cables?

I haven't seen any of the cable of to which you refer, however, I have noticed considerable differences from cable to cable. between componenet cables and between s-video cables, not so much between different composite cables though. I'd go with the A-quest.
