GOOD component video cable ?

Is component video cable, "regular" cable with RCAs? If so, before you spend a lot of money, try getting your hands on some regular cable TV coax cable and get RCA adapters at Radio Shack ($2). It sounds crazy, but I did this and could not tell any real difference from this and video cables to justify the additional cost.

Remember that coax cable TV cable is 75 ohm and a solid core conductor. Exactly what is needed.

Belden Reference- $50 for 25ft. Try Savantaudio.com

I have had good luck with the Monster Cable silver coated wires.

Thank you all for your help, I will research your suggestions.

Is there any concern over phase matching the lengths as you are looking at three time related signals that are summed (effectivly) in the video display? Any other concerns I should note?
