Anyway, up 'till I took some half decent phono cables (Qunex, IIRC)
down last night he's been using it with a red/white/yellow bootlace
cable on Component Video. We swapped the cables last night and
*kaboom* - wot a difference!! Much, much sharper, if nothing else!

Cables are frequency-sensitive at frequencies way, way higher than audio.

OK, I know this is video and not audio (don't even know if Component
Out is analogue or digital!) but if this upgrade could much such an
improvement, surely the same goes for audio information? (I might be
a bit lost discerning nuances in sound quality differences but I got
no problem with visuals!)

Depending on what you're pushing down that CVI cable, we could be talking
signals up to 200 MHz or more. That's 10,000 times higher than the highest
nominal audio frequency.

Also I would mention that there was/is no significant difference in
picture quality between a £40 Chy Knees DVD** (daren't say Chinky any
more!! :-) and a much more expensive Japper Knees machine (Sony 725
or summat similar).....

Same argument. OTOH, the the £40 wonder, just might be a POS.
