Agree, not a good idea, keep the composite unplugged!
Some TVs will detect the composite signal and revert to that, reducing the video separation of the SVideo. This defeats the whole purpose of having the SVideo plugged in keeping the Chroma Luma signals isolated.
This was my thought on the S-video/composite cables, but it may depend on the Tv or monitor you are using as to what signal it defaults to. Not sure.
Anyway I was lazy and did not want to sift through cheaper cables on the off chances one was good so I sprung for a official Nintendo s-video cable. Cost $30 with shipping included from Japan. A bit pricey but after I researched going RGB, I felt $30 was a cheaper alternative.
