  I use Tributaries. It blows away anything by Better Cables or Monster.

  Interesting. Sounds like you also had made a svid cable with just a standard twin run of 1505a or 1506a or equal. How much of an improvement did you see over you current 1506a quad configuration? Also, what are Nec-tec connectors? I'd like to try it but the bulk of all that cable would seem to overwhelm a svid connector. I thought about making a short svid to Y/C splitter using 6" of smaller coax and some BNC connectors, but I figure I would also have to make the same splitter to the tv, and thought it might degrade the signal through all those connectors.

    I used 4 individual runs for each of the four pins. The braids were used only as a shield, connected at one end, to the crimp of the svid connector. (directional shielding). The connectors can be purchased from Markertek. Tec Nec 4MM/M - Metal connector. The shell unscrews from the connector. All four "DIELECTRICS" will fit through the rear shell. No other Broadband cable I tried would fit w/o modification.
    The reason this recipe works so well is the bandwidth. Check out other cables and see. I would compare Digital Cable broadcasts on this cable to that of a DVD - non component.

      Are you using the "SVHS-4M" TecNec connector at the MarkerTek site? Looks like a round silver colored metal connector with plastic barrelled body?

      Thanks!
