S-Video Cable - is there much difference

Roger: Have both sonic horizons and Monster 2000 now. Love both. HCMaudio makes/ sells these. www.hcmaudio.com Tell 'em hi. Took them a while. Someday soon, I'll A/B them with test patterns on same set up. I forgot. My Pioneer DVD-05 has dual outputs so other than geeting the cables out of the armoire, should be fun. I did recalibrate my 32" panasonic (their almost flat CRT) after the sonic horizons. Clearly better than anything I had used on it before , MIT, Monster 500ish line (which bettered MIT). It was first time I could actually calibrate TV accurately. Let you know when I A/B. I am glad I spent the extra $$.

Shaqspack, I can't wait to hear the A/B results. Which of the 3 sonic horizons are you using (Hurricane, Daybreak, or Sunrise)? Another question: are you using the same type of S-video cable for both connecting the DVD player with the processor and the processor with the TV ? By the way: I am currently using Unique HA284, an S-video cable that was popular in Hong Kong when I lived there. I have no idea how this fits into the quality range. I will buy one of the 2 you recommend and then test it against what I have. Will let you know, of course. Thanks for the great info above. Roger

Roger: Have Hurricane between DVD and Receiver and to TV. Daybreak DSS to Receiver. System 2 is Wireworld Silver S DVD to pre- and Monster to TV. Problem on A/B may be that it will be tough to trade out the switching to TV run. My gut level advice is either would be excellent. For build quality alone I would go Hurricane.

I bought Synergistic Research Video Reference (around $100)s-video cables a few months ago. The cable is composed of two individual cables (1 for lu, 1 for cr), each shielded and then strapped together, with gold connectors. I feel that the color saturation and detail is the best my Pioneer Elite proj tv has ever looked. I replaced a couple monster 2000 cables and 1 AQ premium cable.

The sonic horizon website says that the audio quest model s-4 is better than there best but three times the price. so does anyone no where i can by an audioquest s-4 used?
