People already said the signal for digital is 0 or 1.  So, not matter what make the HDMI cable, you still received 0 or 1 signal.  You think better quality HDMI can produced 0 or 1 in this form: 0 or 1laugh.gif

So, do you think if machine received better looking 1 or 0  tongue.gif , your picture and audio qualities will be better?  rclxub.gif

Conclusion, if your HDMI cable can received 0 or 1 signal (mean it is good HDMI cable) or can't received 0 or 1 signal (mean this is defect HDMI cable). That's all, case closed.  whistling.gif

Have you actually go out and compare a cheapo one and an expensive one before? Otherwise it remains a theory. Having played around with HiFi before, I do know that different cable give different result when plugged into CD player. But I am not saying that's the same with HDMI cable, just saying why not go try it out and tell us.

i won't pay RM200-300 for a branded HDMI cable, the slight difference doesn't worth that kind of money.

Hard core Hi Fi person are known to pay 10 times or 20 times or even 30 times that number for a interconnect to connect his CD player and amplifier. So it's all beauty in the eyes or ears of the beholder

so by paying 30x more, does it make the cable more superior than other?

All I can say is, they do sounded different. As to whether it is better or worst, it's up to individual to decide.

And before someone think these people are stupid, then let me give this food for thought. If these 'so called stupid person' can afford to pay RM10K for a piece of wire, don't you think they must be smarter than most people in able to earn more money than the average person? So is the average person "more stupid than those so-called-stupid-person"?

Yap, such thing exist in the Hi Fi world. Quote:
"Valhalla and Valkyrja is in price: $3300 versus $2000 per meter pair of interconnects, and $7350 versus $4600 per eight-foot pair of speaker cables." BTW, those price are quoted in US dollar. Do you own calculation.

And if you think your super size Plasma TV is expensive, you haven't seen what some speaker can cost. How about RM200K sounded to you?

Well, speakers have been around far longer than Plasma TV and yet, the price is still sky high, if not higher. They defies gravity, even senses.

Same song. Same singer. Same 0 & 1. Same house. Same time. Same stars in the sky. Same Tenaga electricity. Same popcorn. Same wife. Same gf holding my hands. But different CD from different country or placed on different CD-R can sound same in car stereo system but can sound different in some higher resolution Hi Fi set up. Any idea why?

That is for me to know and for you to find out biggrin.gif

As for why the same 0 and 1 can sound different, I am waiting for someone to tell me the reason why.

this is from my experience....an expensive HDMI does not really equal to quality product.....4 years ago when HDMI was still new....the price was insanely high ....i bought a 15m supra HDMI for RM1650 but it failed to work on my projector.....the signal lost was too great to recover but it worked on some TV.....later on i spent RM300 for an unbranded HDMI cable online and it works flawlessly till now.

In short, you have found differences between 2 different HDMI cables. One does not even work and the other work.

to me i think a good hdmi cable would improve the quality of the audio but not so much on the video stream...

anyway...just my 2 cent

It does not makes sense. If it affect audio, it will also affect video. Both or Non.
