Hey - I am new to retrogaming and just saw this comment. I recently purchased S-Video cables for all my old systems. I bought the Tomee and Gam3Gear cables from amazon to plug into the actual system (routing them through a manual pelican switcher), with some loose cords from amazon to go from the switcher to the TV.

The cords at castlemania don't look any different than the ones I bought, and they are about the same cost. Do you know if they are somehow better than the ones I bought? Or if there is an easy way to see if the cables I got are not "high quality" like you mentioned?

Again I am new to this so any help you can provide would be super. Thanks!
