cable advise

[rhino2k]

hi all, might get a new component cable for my system.

currently it uses a monster cable (dont laugh, got this when i first got a plasma) and am thinking of going for a Van Damme, Ixos or QED.

van damme is quite cheap, but i have 2 of their optical cables and they are very good quality

other options are the QED P-CV1 or the Ixos XHV704.

any other suggestions welcome, nothing really wrong with the monster cable but i can use it elsewhere anyway, so it's a good excuse

it cost £70 about 14 months ago

nearly forgot about the mark grant cables, they look good but may be a bit big for routing to my PJ. no real rush though as i want to get the length right so will have to get properly setup first

Mark's cables come in a variety of sizes, don't see how they could be too long :S

The Mark Grant cables have a thick black outter sleeving, however he does a version without this sleeving.

They come as separate cables and are very easy to route around equipment and use the same cable+connectors as one another.

They would be my first choice.

as phils_wicked said they are a bit thick, which is what i meant benw

they could be the cable to go for, just would be good to know how they compare also

Id recommend the belden component cables, build quality is very good for the cost, as Phils wicked stated, ask for version without the sleve if u want flexibility, i bought one from http://www.gottohav.co.uk/products.asp?cat=26
