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.
I am going to resurrect this after a year plus.

Maybe I am just excited that I finally opted on a new video component cable today.

After months of research and speculating between several brands I opted for one....finally!

The cables I think are some of the best are..

audioquest yiq5
nordost silver screen
wireworlds top one
and Synergistic Research directors reference x2

You have to be careful not to get the synergistic line doubler component x2 as some will say its the same as Directors reference x2 with the different name. People where getting the line doubler x2 component cable mixed that its a line doubler so they changed the name, but with the name change Ted and Elliot say its a much better unit.

From what I researched and talking to people it sounds like the Directors reference x2 should rival and better anything. So I have a Directors reference x2 on its way.

I will post my thoughts on it a couple days after I get it if your intersted.
