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.
