Please suggest decent interconnects/component video cables

jqp · « **on:** 6 Nov 2003, 07:52 pm »

I need to get 5 interconnects from the OUtlaw 950 to 5 amps.

Also need Video Component cables.

Which are decent, which to avoid?

And should I just bypass the Outlaw for video with only the one Sony TV and one XBox (as DVD player for now)?

Bolder cryo'd M80's are my favorite inexpensive IC's, and are what I use in my HT setup.

Belden 89259 based cables with Eichmann Bullet IC from http://www.heartlandcables.com/

For $50 a pair, this is the best deal that you can find. The Eichmann bullet alone already cost $30.

ha ha i've been thinking about heartland cables, the price is too good to miss, 30$ for the plugs and the belden is about 1.50 a foot.
its not worth diy at this price

I bought several pairs from Dan and he is a very nice guy to deal with.
How do they sound? Just do a search for "Belden 89259" at AudioAsylum and you'll find tons of them.

Hi,

Thanks for the link to Heartland Cables.

You guys don't know how lucky you are, in Australia 4 eichman bullet plugs alone cost $80au. Heartland are selling 3 foot pair for cheaper than this.

I will be in contact with them.

Btw how did they sound in comparison to other cables?

Regards

Rod

Go with ehe belden for audioasylum their sonic quality is great, they also have great speaker cables

While I like how the eichmann plugs sound I'm always concerned when they are matched with a thin and stiff cable.
FYI Signalcable.com also sells this combo.
Also check out RhinoCables.net for 89259 and Vampire combo
Otherwise you cant go wrong with Bolder

The best component video cable I have used is the Megular from Zu Cable. I tested it against a Belden component from RS Cables, & the difference was like taking a pair of sunglasses off. With the Zu, the colors just jump off of the TV. They sometimes run them for auction on ebay.

Later

For any Ebay'ers... Heartland runs auctions there, price starts at $50.00 - other cables offered also. All positive feedback. link >> http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3059142933&category=33205&rd=1
