MrMcGoo Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 The AQ component video cable is quite good, almost worth the price. It's the other stuff that is a total waste IMO. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, they are pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minn_male42 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 get some belden RG-59 and some switchcraft or neutrik RCA connectors.... with some basic soldering skills you can make a great cable for even less money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenratboy Posted April 6, 2005 Author Share Posted April 6, 2005 How much is 75' of Belden RG-59 and 6 RCA connectors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minn_male42 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 doing a quick search..... (and make sure that it is copper center with a copper braid).... 25 cents a foot http://www.tessco.com/products/displaySkus.do?groupId=408&subgroupId=12 any name brand that is copper center/copper braid will also work well..... carol, beden, comscope, etc for connectors.... http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=092-110 $1.19 each for a neutrik nickle plated version $18.75 for the cable and 7.14 for the connectors...... add $10.00 for shipping (if you order the parts online).... about $35.00 total find the parts locally ... roughly $25 or so... all the cables in my system are belden RG-59 (copper/copper) with neutrik or switchcraft connectors..... (except for SVHS cables)... they all are made to the exact length required.... no extra cable laying around in loops or on the floor....

T2K Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I've got a pile of factory cables that came with my DVD player, tape player, VHS tape rewinder, etc. that I've never used. I'll let them go cheap if you need them. They sound just as good as anything you can buy or build. I mean heck, ware is ware isn't it?

SteelerFan Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 AVIC cable, my favorite cable company. Don't know anything about their performance, but I sure dig their commercial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffinator Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Jesus, minn_male - here we go again with the RG-59 for passing high-frequency analog video. Funny, but as I watch basic cable on my TV, I think to myself "gee, this is really great video transmission - look at all the distorted color, the static, the snow, man I'm glad my cable company uses RG-59 to deliver this signal to me...

Characteristic Impedance: 75Ù Applications: Coax Cables, Precision Video Cable for Analog and Digital, Standard Analog Video Cables - 75 Ohm Coax" btw - if you rip apart many of those "high-end" cables that you sell to your customers - you will find the same construction as the belden cable listed above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damonrpayne Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I was thinking about this, why are there practically no studies posted to refute the cable war? Either cables produce an audible/visual difference or they don't. Different people can hear different things, but to claim that one can hear something that cannot be measured by equipement is almost laughable. I'm sure if someone had the inclination there is equipment far more sensitive and detailed than human ears/eyes that could put this to rest and silence all but the most adamant priests of cable voodoo.

There are no leaflets or anything, so that helps cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minn_male42 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 hey griff! we're all still waiting to read the "superior" specs of the video cable that you sell and use in your installs...... please enlighten us so we can improve our systems..... because using belden RG-59 according to you is sooooooooooooo bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
