S-Video cables, was looking for a good one, and I believe "bettercables.com" is stacking the reviews in their favor.

I was looking for a S-video cable, I came across the reviews at Audioreview.com, and if you look at the number of reviews, they get 27 superb reviews glowing about how significantly better their cable is. I looked at Monster s-video cable reviews, they only have 7 reviews .
I hunted on the archives, the most mentioned cable is Monster 1000 and a few mentions of bettercables.com . LOOKS TO ME as if they had stooges put in glowing reviews to make them look better. Its toooo obvious.
Looks to me as if IXOS cables may be just as good, and/or the base Tributaries both at around $20-$30 for 2 meters will do the job.
If anyone has any recommendations, let me know, but please dont recommend bettercables.com
Good luck.
