I'm also using a small set, a 27" Proscan with the S-Video coming from an RCA 5223P DVD player. I do believe the 1000SV to be a very good S-Video cable, it was a pretty dramatic improvement over the Acoustic Research cable I upgraded from. But even with a 7 metre run of the Tributaries that I paid $60 for on the 27" Proscan, I saw marginal improvement from the Tributaries, colors seemed to be a little more vivid and better saturated and there seemed to be better definition, particularly noticeable in "dark" scenes. Monster has a new cable out, the 2000SV, supposedly even better than the 1000; I guess what I'm saying is that the Tributaries appears to be slightly better cable than the Monster at a much better price. My TV doesn't have component inputs, so my component experience is limited. I did, however, buy a set of base Tributaries component cables for $50 for a friend with a Toshiba SD 1600 and the 40 inch widescreen HD Toshiba TV as a gift (if you can believe it, he had it hooked up with coax!). I watched scenes from "The Thin Red Line" (a movie that I got for free with my DVD player) after hooking the component cables up to his set and it was pretty wild. It was almost like watching a different film! There was color and detail in abundance that I just don't see on my TV, but to be fair, his Toshiba set costs about 5 times as much as my Proscan! In any event, the Tributaries have a very good reputation (although not particularly well known) for their video cables. You might want to look at their web site, which has prices posted that are higher than I paid. If you want, you can e-mail me and I'll let you know who I bought from (over the net). Regards
