    I was looking today at the store and saw all brands and types of composites and s-video bundles and singles but I feel that in order to make the perfect purchase I need to consult with you first... first I want to know if it makes a difference what composite or s-video cable I use are they all the same? my VCR has composites and s-video outputs and my ADVC110 has the same for inputs is not like there is a fiber optic option... so what can you tell me... can it get any better?

    Monster brand cable and have found it makes a difference especially in audio. The cables are much thicker and insulated against interference that can cause degradation to the signal. Some the higher end monster cables are very expensive though.

    The look and feel of the high end cables is very dramatic but so is the cost. As I always like to say, you pay for what you get. Monster cables (or other high end) cost more because they use better materials and it shows (the connector ends and cables are much thicker). The only way to describe it is to buy them and test for your self. [​IMG]
