I am going to be picking up a new component video cable with rca connectors and I need some opinions from my audiogon friends. What is your favorite component video calbe regardless of cost? I am considering Audioquest
YIQ-5, Acoustic Zen Silver Byte component, and Silver Serpent reference cable. Are there any others that I should be looking into? Thanks in advance.

I am inclined to go with Nordost as well, I had thought, like many that video cables didn't matter, that was until I tried a Nordost Optix S Video cable from my DV-09 to the TV. WOW! The picture was dramatically better. Haven't made the leap the their CVC yet, but will likely soon.

FWIW A DVI cable is a direct digital feed. If you are using an analog display (CRT) you could be better off with component or DVI, depends on the circuitry in the TV/Projector vs the source. DVI is what most computers use to connect to monitors (LCD's), and is interconvertable with HDMI (which is basically DVI with an audo signal as well.

I had a Yiq-5 and replaced it with the Harmonic Tech Silver Component. I would not have believed the difference without seeing it with my own eyes,the Harmonic Tech was way more defined and bright compared to the Audioquest and at a fraction of the cost.
Just my 2 cents,
