Guide Review - Cobalt Interconnect Cables
I recently received the following cables from Cobalt Cable for evaluation: S-Video (10 meters), Component (10 meters), 5-Channel Audio Bundle for SACD/DVD-Audio (2 Meters), Digital Coaxial (2 meters), and Digital Optical (2 meters). All of the cables were impressively constructed. The Component and 5-channel audio bundle were a bit stiff and weighty, but their excellent performance more than offsets this inconvenience. Most impressive, however, was the excellent signal strength by the 10-meter long S-video cable, which not only surpassed the quality of an average 12-foot S-video cable, but also surpassed a 10-meter length of another branded S-video cable. Consider Cobalt cables for your home theater interconnects, they are worth the price.
