Do component video cables really make a difference?

[Blur]

I recently bought a pioneer DVD player and as usual they include the good old RCA (composite) cables to connect it to the TV (I’ve got a wega). So I was looking through the catalog that came with my order and they have a few pages devoted to cables. According to them, upgrading to a good cable can really make a big difference in the image quality. They suggest either a s-video cable or for even better quality a component video cable.

I mainly watch SVCDs that I make from original DVDs using DVD2SVCD or videos that I convert from divx format (usually divx rips) to the SVCD/VCD format.

My question is, in my situation would upgrading to a component video cable really improve the quality of the image displayed by much? Anyone have any experience with these cables?

I got a Pioneer DV-444 and a 'regular' Sony 29" (nothing fancy), using component out thru scart and I would never ever use rca composite out. I have always thought the quality of that was horrible, no matter the setup.

component video cables definetly make a difference. using a Sony DVD and a Sony Wega (27"), componenent cables are incredible. RCAs just don't offer the same clarity (granted, i was using generic RCAs as well, Monster Cable componenet cables). i'd say go with the componenent cables, it can't hurt to have the best.

Thanks for the replies guys. :)

I'll try some component cables or at least S-video and see if the picture is any better.
