never ending...

Data stream received will not be accurate. So video/audio will not be reproduced accurately.

But typically in data transmission over network, if there are errors, the protocols allows for re-transmits, ie. send again to fix the error. But for high bandwidth streaming of audio/video, don't think there's time to re-transmit?

So, unless you have robotic eyes and ears that can sense all these minute inaccuracy of video/audio reproduction, then maybe the splurge on expensive HDMI cables is only psychologically effective, ie. you think you are seeing a better picture or hearing a better sound, and so, therefore you "really" do.

if not clear, we can ask until clear mah..

HDMI 1.3 only one way signalling rite... then how to re-transmit if the receiving end can tell the sending end that the data receive is attenuated

I find that some things in audio ... and even in real life, do not make sense some of the time

i also read only .... where got so much time to audition and $$$ to buy so many cables

this topic.... very nice debating indeed....

my fren, a sony technician and me did confirm there is a change,

one HDMI seem to display clearer PQ than the other, and also for AQ the ambience is different

As for me i believe there is a difference,
but at the end of the day... The Decision is Yours

moomoos,

Was there less noise in the images?

TMDS is use by HDMI for error correction.

bro anfield, dont know whether its noise or not

one displayed blurrer pictures, and certain brightly lit spots appeared smeared (bigger...of cos not measurable la )

have to use the pioneer BD to calibrate the Detail level up ( there's improvement ) but cant better the other cable

i also did freeze frame on facial, and did swapping few times, the wreckles, facial pores ( dont know wat you call it.. mind my inglish..hehe) seems clearer.

one very good example is on the spiderman 3, when the SandMan finally gather back its figure, notice the "details" grains of sand flowing/streaming along, and when he picks up the pendant on 1st attempt, notice the expression (details on eye)
you really dont have to pause/freeze to just let it play and replay

happy experimenting !!!

What type of interconnect are you referring to above? HDMI cable, optical cable or the analogue RCA cable?

What were the two HDMI cables used in this comparison?

yeah curious to know also.. what are the BD player and TV also..

i am refering to audio digital interconnects ( not coaxial, optical)

both coaxial and optica cable are known accepted types of audio digital interconnects....

~LX-52 and 1080i Sony 3LCD single gun projection TV

~a 2.5m RM150 1.3b (made in Choong Kok) HDMI vs a 3.m Taiwan RM350

where's the monster cable ?

Dare not touch Munster Lots of imitation

Interesting.

The HDMI cable was used between the LX-52 and your Yammy right?

Taiwan got produce HDMI cable? Which brand, Usher?

get it from reputable dealer lor... so detailed eye to notice the minute difference in HDMI quality between cable but cannot notice imitation products meh?
