75 ohm is always best.. Of course this part of the 'chain' might not be the weakest link. If the TV can only show a nor mal signal which is something like 250 lines then I doubt you will notice any real change. Still, you might want to go with what is right just because it is correct. The mid-priced cables are good enough. Check out Radio Shack which has better cables than what usually comes with a DVD player.
"Component Video" cables
I just bought a DVD player to mate with an old (but good) TV set which my wife will use to watch mushy movies at all hours of the night. Since I didn't have an S-video wire handy, I hooked up the three-wire component video interface using a elcheapo three foot audio/video cable that I had on hand. Of course this means that only one of the three wires is the intended 75 ohms.
It works, and quite well. My question is...can I expect any improvement if I invest in the proper wires? A quick check of one cable supplier shows 3 foot interconnects at three price points. $65, $37, $9. Of course there is a fourth option, do nothing, which costs nothing.
What's the scoop?
