I have my Van Damme Red component cables burried in the wall to my mounted plasma.
I suspect that the HD component leads coming out of my 360 (and the coupler joining it to my Van Dammes) are a source of some signal degradation from the 360.
This has certainly been proven, in part, after I've just spent £6 in Maplin upgrading the cheap chrome phono couplers to a better, gold plated, version. the improvement in picture is noticeable.
I'm sure I could improve things by replacing the MS component cables with better ones (eg Monster) but I'd rather have just the single run of cables all the way between XBOX and screen.
Since I need >3m of cable and I don't want to get shot of my van Damme's (or go to the trouble of taking them out of the wall and putting new cable in there) does anyone know if it is possible to get my own component cables spliced into a 360 HD connector?
If so, is it an easy job (I've made my own cables before, but not soldered)? Can you get "empty" connectors to put your own cables in, or would I have to butcher one with leads?
Forum advice much appreciated.
