AFAICT, the /universe/ uses essentially three kinds of
AV/audio/s-video/component cables. I'll gladly accept correction
here. 1. The mostly inexpensive ~6 to 12 dollars
2. Acoustic Research
3. Monster

Is there a lesser known manufacturer out there than anyone
particularly loves that is cheaper, but of similar quality at AR or
M.

Look in the Calrad catalog, since they have cables quite similar to
Monster at much, much lower prices, and they even offer "locking" RCA
type cables.
But best of all why not purchase your own cable from a store that
carries Belden, Alpha Wire, etc., and make your own cables? This is
surely one of the last ways where DIY still applies with our hobby.


Well, I checked that at RS, and they have no way to do it, and I'm in the
middle of nowhere, so It'll have to be internet.

I'm assuming that rca is as easy/uneasy as (rf) coax to mount connectors on?
At least RG6 and the like I make myself, but would love to get into making
composite/svideo/component. Are they reliable (if done correctly)?

By the way: svideo seems a dicey thing for a DIYer. There are two coaxes in
there (as I've been educated here.) Doesn't seem to lend itself to crimp
connectors on one connector.....ICBW...
