Which component video cable should I buy?


Yes, I guess I'm probably the last dude on earth still using component cables for my HDTV(going from my cable box to the TV). Looking for a nice set of component video cables that would provide improved picture quality over my current inexpensive set of Monoprice component cables, which are from 10 or more years ago.

I did run a search here, and all the threads that came up seemed to be from 2005 to 2007, so that is bit outdated. My budget for these would be ~$100 or so. Should I just go with Audioquest or Wireworld, or are there better products or better values out there?

The best component video cable I ever found and used extensively in 2 different HT systems was Audioquest's YIQ-5. They are outstanding; I had several and they were first rate. The ISF Engineer who did my video calibrations constantly praised them as well.

The post above noting that you could use 3 (matching!) 75-ohm digital cables for RGB purposes is spot-on. At one point I was using three Audioquest Eagle Eye cables while I waited for my 4th YIQ-5 to be made and arrive; the results were very impressive.....

YIQ5 should not break the bank if found on the used market.....
