What would be a good component video cable? I'm looking for something in the $100 to $200 range. Hopefully something really good for the dollar. You know, best bang for the buck type thing.

    Signal Cable. Color saturation and display is excellent.

    I would go with a referral first but there is:

    Kimber
    Cobalt
    MIT
    Nordost
    Fatwire
    Bluetruth
    cables to go
    usedcable.com

    I have never tried any of them but they are out there.

    I was thinking about MIT AVT2 or AVT1. $100 to $160 for 1 meter. (after posting the question). I thought of Signal cable too. What I noticed was when I went from the $20 cables they gave me to 3 of the audioquest coral cables (which were not meant for video) everything looked much better. I'm thinking good quality cables made for video would be a worthwhile investment. I'll leave the question open for a while longer. MIT might be my answer just because I have been so impressed with their audio cables but nothing is written in stone. I HATE buying Monster stuff just on principle. Good list there pp. I'll look at kimber as well.

    There has got to be a video guru out there who swears by something... :D

    Here's what you want,

    AVt 1 Component Video Interconnect

    True 75-Ohm Silver plated RCA with Teflon®—For lowest resistance & proper impedance match.
    Silver plated solid-core center conductor—Minimizes signal loss—delivers better detail.
    Precise 75-Ohm coaxial construction—Delivers the cleanest, sharpest picture.
    Triple shielded—For highest possible noise rejection.
    Gas-injected P.E. insulation—Improves velocity of propagation for enhanced detail.

    Give Joe a call.

    yea, after looking at them I believe you are correct. I looked on audiogon, joe doesn't have any for sale. I probably won't get them for a little while anyway.
