I'm not sure what outputs the Arcam has but if it has component you might be better off using that although there's not much difference between RGB SCART and component (YpBpR). Check out profigold for your cables as they're good value. For HDMI, I recently bought 1.3 compatible ones from MarkGrant. For SCART take a look at THOR or Vivanco Prowire as they're not dear. For optical, don't spend much, £5 tops should do it. I got one from amazon for £3 or something and it works a treat!!! Profigold do digi-coax cables at around £10 and they're fine. There are a few powerbuys (see top of page) with links to good quality cables.
