QUOTE(99below0 @ Nov 7 2008, 04:34 PM) well, check this out...http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_12_4...005-part-1.html If you were to compare this to cheap HDMI, of course you would notice the difference. Seeing is believing while the reviews done by experts are complimentary. |

QUOTE(rthj @ Nov 7 2008, 05:04 PM) that's the entry level HDMI from Nordost..It's of 22AWG compared to what we normally would have i.e 26 or 28AWG..Of course it would not be the best but IMHO, it worth the money spend... |

QUOTE(Darkkopi @ Nov 10 2008, 04:05 PM) Yes I have, it not only affects HDMI cables, VGA, audio cables etc are also affected, when it's too long, the signal degrades hence if you are going to use such long wires, you need a signal booster. Yes, you need signal booster unless the HDMI you bought has guarantee from manufacturer (which they normal will mentioned the longest length before signal will be lost) that there'll be no signal lost for certain length. If you exceed that length then you need a booster. |

QUOTE(ar188 @ Dec 22 2008, 07:22 PM) just for clarity,.. accept what? that expensive cables does or doesn't make a difference compared to good but cost effective cables? Just think about this, if you are a businessman, do you 1st invest a lot of money in research, manufacture and sell something that does not has demand? If expensive HDMI cable does not improve PQ and AQ I believe all cable manufacturers would not have their flagship cables.There are always people who can afford expensive cable, to them, maybe 1k investment to have PQ increase by 10% would worth the money while to some others, it's totally a waste of money. So, it's subjective and whether you think you would want to spend that kind of money. |

QUOTE(ar188 @ Dec 22 2008, 09:57 PM) yes, if it improves 10% of the quality then I would even buy them even if it costs 1k.. then that's where the reasoning breaks down, how can a digital cable improve anything? it's just a copper cable not a Hidef Video Processor.. (unlike analog AV cables which can degrade a analog audio/video signal) why not you write to cable manufacturer who can answer your question? There's no point arguing. Everything sells for a reason.still you don't get the gist of what I'm trying to say from a technical point of view.. the USD10 cable and the USD300 cable all pass the HDMI1.3 test.. using super precise testing equipment loaned by monster cable themselves. if you say, people want to spend on 1k cable just because they got money, go ahead, that's nothing wrong with that, just don't tell me that a lesser good quality cable won't pass the data thro properly. cos at the end of the day, it's whether if the digital data goes thro 100% or it doesn't and if it doesn't, you will know it cos it will be abrupt. it cant make it 5% better or 10% less from it's source to the TV.. |

QUOTE(ar188 @ Dec 23 2008, 09:40 AM) the discussion here is that people think only expensive cables meets the HDMI 1.3 spec while cheap cables doesn't meet HDMI 1.3 spec.. because that's all you need to care about as far as digital cables are concern whether it meets the spec or not... |
