I notice you seem to share my preference for silver conductor. I recently bought a set of AudioQuest YIQ-5 component cables with silver conductors. (I got great service from The Cable Company in New Hope, Pennsylvania.) My picture looks fine and I'm happy with the cabling, but I have not tried any great variety of component cables so I can make no real comparisons.
There are differences in cables.--- Cheap ones choke the color/ saturation and black level. While I use Silver Serpent and WireWorld 3's; I've just been timid to go above their price level. So, I guess I'm saying: don't expect much from the cheapies that come free. How much more you spend is your call. I've never read any shoot-out blurbs from those going from mid level to very high priced cables. I would say "At least mid level" as a minimum.
I am using the Zu Megular for both my DVD player & Satellite box. I did a direct comparison to the Monster level 3 component cable, and the Megular was more defined, and the picture seemed brighter. I really like it.
The Zu is not bad.. The WIREWORLD GOLD STARLIGHT 5 Is probably the most SHarp cable out there, but very expensive, it is used in many of the Pro AMC theater installs I understand... Also the BEST for the money is the BELDEN Brilliance which is also used for major projection systems, it will just show how good you DVD is though.. The wireworld might go a step beyond to really do it solid.. The belden is sold thru many companies that put a fancy jacket on it and sell for like 200 to 500 bucks a component set.. You can get them for between like 30 and 100 depending on the length from Bluejeanscable.com
Audiodoc said harmonic component and I would agree that they are a good cable. I Also did a lot of research on this and opted on the better cables silver serpent reference. This cable is as good as it gets I believe. I think the Nordost is also an excellent cable but from what I gathered on posts the silver serpent is comperable but a vastly lower price.
