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 have the same DVD player, connected to a Faroudja DVP2200 to an NEC 7" CRT projector. There are two that I can recommend. One is the Audioquest YIQ-4. I'm using it with this transport. I upgraded from BetterCables. It is surprising how close the better cables was. You won't be able to spend $500 on BetterCables, but for the money they can't be beat. I probably wasted a few bucks on the Audioquest--it is better--but the price is on the high side.
