Any Alternatives to HD Retrovision component cable ?

Post by Legi0n »

So I have bought a Component switcher...I have a PS2 HD Retrovision cable and I am going to buy a Wii HD Retrovision cable as well..

What I need now is a male-to-male component cable...

Should I buy the HD Retrovision male-to-male component cable ? or are the following cables also good ?:

My go-to has been this MediaBridge cable- https://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-Comp ... D829O?th=1

Those are even more expensive than the HD Retrovision cables where I am ... How about the ones I posted ?

Can't speak to them but if you have convenient Amazon returns where you are I'd lean towards the second link. The third one says "gold-plated" and they clearly aren't, and I don't like how thin the wires are to each connector on the AmazonBasics one. Not that thick automatically equals quality, but I dunno.

The amazonbasics ones have thin endings just like the mediabridge ones and both have a thick braided cable between the endings .... all of them have dual shielding...
