I'm sorry you find Audioquests to be displeasing. You may have missed the fact that I have built many different cables besides Audioquest, including Canare, and Beldens such as John Risch's 89259. I've heard many audio ics on many esoteric systems, I usually find the differences to be so subtle to indifferent when you are already comparing high quality cables to one another. I doubt the average person can tell a difference. After all, you are not trying to put something to the signal that is not there, just preserving the signal transfered from one component to another. Substantial video improvement on the other had is something that can be objectively quantified and can be seen by the average viewer. My point was that this was an improvement the average person can see and appreciate for relatively pennies, and that I was not some cable snob twarting some microfine illusions between a 1 meter length of some $400 audio cables. But this is video asylum and not cable asylum.

As for the Tributaries svid cable, I doubt they would be much different than the Belden 1406b, since the coaxs need to be small to constrain them in a standard s-video jacket. In fact, the Beldens are probably better since the coax diameter is 70% of RG59 at the shield. One could probably run the Beldens at 500' with minor signal degradation. But why don't you try building a set and tell us how they compare - a 1 meter pair should only cost you $8 to build. Besides, I needed an 18' run and I think you would be hard pressed to find something commercially premade that would beat out the 1406b. I had to resort hand building cables as an only option.
