i have the Mits WT-46807 RPTV i'm running Tara Labs HT Video component cables.
i've read many posts poo pooing high end cables and i was just wondering if there are any believers who feel they are worth it and use them.
Follow Ups:
After spending 14 years in television production, and at many different TV stations/Post Houses/Networks and hanging around with the engineers that work at these places, I've become convinced that cables do matter, but only to a certain degree.For example, cheap wire, like the type that comes with most low, mid and even some high end consumer electronics sucks...there is no question about it. BUT if you go to any network, TV station, or even post house (the post houses are usually the most fanatical), you will see nothing but Belden. Sometimes you'll see other brands, but very rarely. Belden is pretty much it. They run THOUSANDS of feet of the stuff all over and they swear by it. And if you've ever seen a freshly calibrated program monitor in a dark control room, and think that that signal is going through at least 100 feet of Belden wire, and a Bosch router, you'd agree that they know what they are talking about. Especially considering we'll use about a meter in most of our set-ups.
I have a SONY WEGA XBR 36 inch. I use the Max Rochlin Memorial Cable for component video, and I get better shadow detail and color saturation than I got through S-Video. I THINK I also get better detail, but I'm not certain.
Go checkout www.bettercables.com They make nice cables that perform better than monster and cost way way less money. For reviews on their cables, checkout www.audioreview.com As far as audio cables, many many opinons as to what and who makes the best if there really is a best (very subjective).
I bought 3 video cables at the local electronics supply store on sale, $.99 for 2. Hooked them up and they look better than the Monster S-video.
Do any of you electronics enthusists own a meter to measure ohms with? The conductor with the least resistance would be superior. You can go to radioshack and buy a meter for less than $10. Of course this only works on conductors...not fiber optic cables.
I have no experience with Tara Labs although I hear them recommended often. I recommend "well engineered" cables; which are not necessarily "high end" ie expensive. Jon's 89259 recipe makes a very good component video cable; that I can attest to. I feel that cables most certainly can impart different flavors in a system and changing them allows you to "spice" your rig for your personal tastes.
