Good S-video cable?
Posted: Fri Aug 06, 2010 5:48 pm
i just realized this probably goes better here
this is kinda a follow up to another post i did a while back on the sony board trying to find a good S-video cable for my ps1. I wound up getting the offical sony ps3 one and it looks great! much crisper and noside free compared to the cheap one i had before, tnx for the recomendation!
Anyway, the problem now is on the older sony 32" trinitron that im running this on i only have 1 s-video imput. The issue is i need to use a switch box since i also have my SNES on s-video. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good quality s-video cable i could use from the switch box? I got my monster snes cable from procablesdirect.com and it has some regular s-video cables for pretty cheap (around 10 bucks).

there seem to be about 3 options. Monster, acoustic research, and rocketfish. Would any of these 3 be a good choice? any better than the other? I know monsters overpriced, but they tend to actually be good quality and for about 10 bucks i figure that sounds fair. I think ive heard of acoustic research but i dont know if they're any good, and ive never heard of rocketfish
so do any of those sound good? any other sugestions?
Im actually not even sure if my switcher is any good, i picked a phillips one up from target i think it was a little bit back but havent tested it. I was having a hard time finding one that did S-video. Everything was either just composite or component only.
