I have been surveying the market and the basic choices come down to Solid Core Silver coax, Silver Plated Copper coax and just plain copper coax. My dilema is that in every case where I have used solid silver on the analog side, I have been pleased. On the digital side the frequencies are MUCH higher and from what I have read, the signal only travels on the surface...
I have upgraded from the "included" el cheapos, through the Radio Shack "Gold" cables and to some custom Canare cables for both RF and composite video seeing marked improvement with each upgrade. I am willing to spend the $ if the component cables make a difference. Any thoughts? Thanks... Paul
