Q: What should I look for when shopping for cables?

A: High frequency video signal tends to travel close to the surface of the cable conductor, so silver-plated high purity conductors contribute to good video cables. Because human hearing is very sensitive to signal phase accuracy, audio cables made of a solid conductor core can reduce the phase distortion caused by stranded cables. For a deeper look at cable construction, see the cable basics page.
