Hmmm. cheap component cables will look better than good s-video cables? Wow. I would have though, give a magical $100 budget, you could get a better picture with a $100 s-video cable over a $100 set of component cables. Just figuring wire (1vs.3) and terminations (2vs.6) alone the s-video would be of higher quality. that may be true, but I guess I neglected to take in account for the superior interface of the component signal.I should buy some s-video and 3 composite cables (po' man component set!) and see for myself. I have much curiousity!
>> And if you need, I will gladly come over and physically beat the truth about component video connectors into your mother. ;) <<
No, no! She's just collateral damage! She trusts my judgement. (And so do the people who hear/see her setup). Actually sometimes her perceptions are better than my own! If component is as good as you say, we;ll both see it when we A/B test them.
It's the engineer at at my work who needs a little cat 'o 9 tails purification. Ouch just the thought of 9 heavy RCA plugs his flesh. 3 sets of component video cables would make a nice whip, no? eh eh. *CRACK*
here's another link to check out:http://www.soundstage.com/video/columns/199911_db_videocables.htm
i used to use, between my dvd player and tv, the cheap rca audio cables that came with the player and tv for the component video connection before i learned that video cables should be 75 ohm cables. i found that particular component video connection to look better than s-video between the dvd player and tv using a $50 monster cable.
i now have nordost optix component video cables, which are nicer overall except that the connectors feel loose. since i was impressed with the results of using the cheap, wrong cables already, i never did a comparison of the nordost optix cables against a s-video connection.
you'd better produce someone for me to beat up, or i'm gonna be restless!

Obviously not 75ohm, like you say, but I'll give them a shot.
So he can bang heads with the hooligans . . .
