GOOD component video cable ?

APATURE,accusound series silver conductor.INCREDIBLE cable especially good with longer runs.EMAIL me with your phone number and i'll provide you with the additional info.I'am not a dealer.

I have used Better Cables in short runs, and wished I was using them in the long runs as well for video. For video they are the most cost effective and well made cables I have come accross. I have tried some other cables, Audioquest YIQ-4 and use it for the DVD to processor. It is better than the Better Cables, but not by much--and certainly for long runs is not cost justified (not to me anyway).

Is component video cable, "regular" cable with RCAs? If so, before you spend a lot of money, try getting your hands on some regular cable TV coax cable and get RCA adapters at Radio Shack ($2). It sounds crazy, but I did this and could not tell any real difference from this and video cables to justify the additional cost.

Remember that coax cable TV cable is 75 ohm and a solid core conductor. Exactly what is needed.

Belden Reference- $50 for 25ft. Try Savantaudio.com

I have had good luck with the Monster Cable silver coated wires.

Thank you all for your help, I will research your suggestions.

SUGARBRIE:
Is there any concern over phase matching the lengths as you are looking at three time related signals that are summed (effectivly) in the video display? Any other concerns I should note?

Sorry, I can't answer that. This was a trial and error thing I did.

Don't go out and buy a long length of Coax if you do not need it, try to borrow some. The Adapters are just $2 and a throw away. You could solder the connections too.
