Build Quality, Looks, Flexibility, and Price!

Heavy! (See below)

I use this cable to go from my DVD player at the back of my theatre to my ceiling mounted projector. I ordered a cable 8 meters (approx. 25 ft.)in length to run through a cable chase through the wall and ceiling.

When I received the cable I instantly thought they had shipped me the wrong one, just because of the shear size of the thing. I had never seen a component cable of such quality, length or diameter before so I was taken aback.

Once I unraveled it however, I found it to be impressively flexible for it's size, and what a beautiful thing it was. The cable and connectors are perfectly shielded is a sleek black textured casing. The connectors are well designed and easy to handle.

This cable has become one of the "stars" of my HT setup. Friends are impressed by it's shear size alone.

It's only weakness in my opinion, and it's one that is unavoidable because of the shear size of cable I purchased, is it's weight. I had to physically tie the cable to my component rack so as not to let gravity put undo stress on my DVD player's output connectors, and the cable itself of course.

high quality made, excellent canare connectors, picture, and resolution

Big and heavy

I am very happy w/ the Ultra component cables I have purchased. They are very well priced for what you can get out there. The color and resolution is superb. I tested them between SVHS cables also and found that the difference was very noticable. The component Ultra cables provide a more natural and even color. The build quality of the cables (all better cables) were of high quality. They used high quality connectors and cables and a nice sleeve for the cable to give it a hi-end look. The main thing is that it does the job well w/o all the fancy marketing touch ups I see in cables today. There is a slight delay though when switching different video inputs, but the quality of the picture in my opinion makes up for it.

Price is for a 7-meter length.

Boy, this component video cable reminds me of high end speaker cables: bulky, heavy, solid feel. And it performance is high end too: picture quality is cinema-like - vivid color, sharp lines, high resolution, even better than the excellent StraightWire SilverLink composite video cable. After last night calibration using the AVIA DVD with this cable connecting my DVD-525 directly to TV, the video setup has become a very pleasant experience to watch. I can't wait to watch more DVDs on this [affordable] system.

Service from the people is the best I have ever had. For "just" a cable company they helped with every question I had. They shipped quickly as well. I use the cables from my Toshiba DVD SD9200 to my Toshiba TW56X81. They provide a crisp and clean image. Much better than the cheap cables I was using. Worth every penny.

There really aren't any weaknesses I can think of

I needed a 50' cable to connect my progressive scan DVD player to my Mits WS-65905 RPTV. I called Brad Marcus and he suggested this cable to try and said if I didn't think the picture was any better than what I was using, I could return the cable for a full refund. There is definitely an improvement int the picture and of course I will be keeping it. I have also purchased several other cables from Better Cables and their customer service and attitude toward the customer is second to none. I highly recommend this company!
