Review 1 of 11

Summary:
I purchased a 5 meter cable to connect a NEC VT540 to a CrystalScan scaler. the VT540 uses a VGA in for HDTV, digital, and component signal. In my setup the Silver Serpent is run through a conduit and I wanted to make sure I only had to pull this thing once. The S-Serpent did not disappoint. Resolution is crisp and clear, with no noticible signal loss in any of the formats that run through it. The company is a pleasure to deal with.

Strengths:
Very well made
Great company

Weaknesses:
The price, but you get what you pay for.

Review 2 of 11

Price Paid:  $131.00 from BetterCables.com

Summary:
The Bettercables.com DB15-DB15 Premium VGA cable exceeds my expectations! Having suffered ghosting and "pixel smearing" on my Mitsubishi XGA LCD projector using a 25ft SVGA generic cable, I researched available alternatives.

Research and web word-of-mouth led me to BetterCables.com.

I bought the 10 meter DB15-DB15 VGA Premium cable last Fall (2000), and was amazed at the pixel-perfect image performance in my front projection application. The Premium VGA cable connects a HTPC (Home Theater PC, a PC used for DVD and music playback) to a Mitsubishi X100 XGA 1024x768 LCD projector. The PC outputs a 1024x768 @ 60 Hz image, which displays pixel-perfect on the projector via the Premium VGA cable, with no noise or other analog artifacts. The image looks like its connected via a direct digital feed!

The image quality exceeds that I've seen via 6 or 9 foot cables built into 19" monitors I own!

Strengths:
Excellet build quality, video performance exceeded my expectations.

Weaknesses:
None, given quality and performance for the cost.

Similar Products Used:
Generic 25 ft triple shielded SVGA cable, DB15-DB15 with ferrites on both ends.

Using these cables for both a HTPC and a RCA DTC-100 connected to a Pioneer PRO-710HD. Great picture even over long cable runs... no apparent loss in detail.

Would have preferred thumb screws to regular screws for securing the connectors.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.

Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 balanced interconnects Review

The Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 is more a study in contrasts than most cables. Chrono b2 refers to balanced version 2.
