Unless a calibration disc is used and the HDMI and component inputs are properly calibrated, the comparison, as it is now, is not being done properly. Another thing to consider is if there are controls on the player to change the look of the analog output. This will skew perception as well. However, I suspect that once the above is done (a proper calibration), the outcome will be different re: HDMI vs component.

As for HDMI cables, expensive doesn't necessarily equal performance. All one has to do is compare the cables at monoprice.com to any others to see that, at least for HDMI cables, $7 for a 6' cable, if it's from monoprice.com, will do the trick.
