guys,

just sharing my experience.

When i first took delivery of my plasma a long long time ago ( in 2008 , that's long enough is digital innovation world lol) , I had to resort to a cheap ebay HDMI cable for like 40 bucks.

That went completely against my conscious since I've alwyas been onbaord the " cables makes a difference " wagon.
But what to do, after payin for that Pio plasma, completely cashless le....
The cable worked flawlessly and a few moons after that came in my HD gears ,a Pio reciever and Pana BDP35 . With the new toys I sourced a couple of high end monster cables and AQ HDMI-3 .

Being already satisfied with the PQ of the my TV , I was expecting to see and hear a substantial or at least some improvement when I swap out the ebay cables to the boutigue brand .
And the difference ....
Guess what...nothing ! Not a single difference in sound or PQ. To be honest I've not done an A-B side by side comparison , but just one plugged in and out after another. I just could not detect any difference. And I think this is true for almost any well build short length HDMI cables., proly within 5m.


p/s : But then, gotta agree the monster cable does look pretty and good enough to be a Hi-Fi ornament So it's decorating the back of my gears now.
