I've heard that with tims NES RGB mod the audio hums with white screens and that is why he recommends using a separate audio jack/ wire. Would buying the super expensive "coaxial" version of the multi out scart cable work equally well as having a separate audio in? Or has this problem been greatly exaggerated and should I just get a regular scart (non coaxial) cable? Btw the cables I'm referring to are the ones the retro chick has on eBay.
Basically she has 3 options:
1. Multi out scart cable with separate audio lead (not preferable for me)
2. Multi out scart cable with coaxial shielding
3. Multi out scart cable regular
I just don't want the audio buzzing if it's actually a problem

Re: NES RGB scart question
My NES was modded by Yurkie and has a multi-out connector. Even using a multi-out connection instead of mini din (w/ separate audio), she recommends getting the coaxial pro cable upgrade due to the humming (interference). I've had no humming issues, since my NES was modded back in August. Note that I use JP-21 instead of SCART; although it shouldn't matter. If you're willing to spend the money on the RGB mod, you shouldn't sweat an extra ~$20 for a higher grade cable.

Re: NES RGB scart question
The very best thing to do is have separate TV and audio amplifier. The video cable goes to the TV, the audio cable goes to the audio cable. As long an there is no other connection between the TV and audio amp, the results will be excellent and buzz free, regardless of cable quality.
It's not always practical to do this so when you must combine audio and video into one cable (this includes two cables that run along size each other), the more shielding, the better. A multi-av cable with coax shielding should work just as well, if not better, that the cable set that is available with the NESRGB kit.
