Should I buy cheap generic component cable for RetroTINK setup?

For the purposes of this community, "retro" means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and games for those platforms released through roughly 2007. This means that the Xbox, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, and PlayStation 2 are the cutoff consoles.
The problem with cheap cables is that they are usually unshielded, which adds a lot of noise to the signal. HD Retrovision cables aren't too expensive and are properly shielded for your ps2. For game cube, the RetroBit and Bitfunx cables are the same and have audio issues. You're better off getting a gcvideo device (eg Prism, Carby, etc...) and sending that into a HDMI to component converter. My go to for that is usually on RetroRgb's tested products list. Alternatively you could use those component cables along with the audio from the multi-out if required.
