Component Video cable recommendation

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.

What price, this cable? I now have an hdmi receiver (Onkyo 875)so component is less important these days.---Not to forget; my 875 needs hdmi in, to get all the benifit of the new hd audio codecs.---Love that; one cable does both; (A&V)thing.
I have a crt Mits. and a Sony,Ruby. The crt runs component, the projector; hdmi.--My component cable is a Wireworld and I run that thru a switcher---- (using all the same cable brand/type-- (4xs) Even tho I use the switcher I get a great image---with a BD player. Naturally my crt has multi comp-ins so if this cable is that good--who knows; I might try one,straight BD/to tv. Did you get a good price?

Hi Avguygeorge.

Your right about the component being a dying breed and hdmi is the future. We have to remember, they seem to not be able to figure out what kind of hdmi to go with. If you bought a processor just a year ago, now you will need one that does hdmi 1.3 opposed to the 1.2. Next year it will be hdmi 1.4 and you will need to spend 2,000 to upgrade that new feature on your processor.

Meanwhile, a high end component cable still rivals hdmi. It
don't have sound but I believe your way better off using high end 5 rca cables to hook up audio which will give you the new digital hd 5.1.

I got my synergistic directors reference x2 component cables today and will play around with in the next couple days. The 2 meter of that cable is like $879. I got a great price so I thought I would try it. I would not pay big money on this technology. I guess, later on I can use the directors ref cables for rca audio cables once I go to hdmi.

For simplicity, the hdmi will be better for the general public.
