does anyone know any place that sells brand name component video cable for a decent price?

 

Genearch posted the name of a place he likes that sells them inexpensively in the clubhouse a month or so ago. I like www.bettercables.com/ , great quality.

 

I found this cable and the price is pretty good and the lenght is exactly what i need also.

Did a seach, here's the place that Gene recommended

BY FAR the best bang for the buck are the now discontinued FUSION cables by RadioShack. These things are less than 20 bucks a pair. Don't laugh. I had always refused to use that kind of stuff until the day I had one laying around and swapped a pair out for some other more expensive cables. Blew me away. After that point I couldn't buy enough of them. They are still available on ebay if you do a search. I've done MANY A/B cable listening experiments with them and cannot believe my ears. I've swapped out just about every audio cable in my home systems for these. (Just for perspective, I am an audio engineer by day, DJ by night, and have been an avid audiophile since the age of 8).
Note that these things are directional, as they have a ferrite core wrapped around the cable at one end that should be placed nearest the receiving end of the cable. For car installations this could get in the way, esp. if fishing thru tight spots.
The reason they've been discontinued at R/Shack is that they were SUED for using the name, and they promptly blew them right off the shelves. I bought a box of them like they were gold. Long live the lawyers. Yeah, right.

 

These look like pretty good prices, though the RCA-to-RCA cables appear to be made with RG-59 75-coax. While this is great for keeping out interference, it may not be very flexible, and it may present impedance problems to certain indeterminate pieces of equipment.
I really never though that cables could affect the sound as much as they do, I always wrote off these cable junkies as wackos, but after doing some accidental experimentation in recent years, I know that cables make a significant difference. Does depend on what else is in your system though.

 

the rca to bnc cable above is only $25 for 12ft. i agree that expensive cables are not necessary superior to cheaper ones. especially them X-Lo cables, those are junk and overpriced

 

You can also use RCA-RCA cables with RCA-BNC adapters on either end, might be cheaper.

 

i can, but i like this rca to bnc cable they sell at tranglecables (pic above). I want one single cable, rather than three, for easy routing. also i dont understand that bnc adapter thing or the bnc input on the HDTV. it is b/c it has the locking mechanism that is why it was implimented ? it must be.....

 

No, the reason is that typical component video cables for pro and broadcast applications are BNC type. Many higher-level consumer DVD machines are providing BNC output on the rear as well.

Apparently I blatantly misread your first post, in that you are looking only for video cables. Must be the chemicals in the air here, or the weekend drinking. Sorry for blabbing.
