HDMI Cable

i won't dispute the fact that you heard differences.

in two channel stereo, the application of hdmi, is usually in the digital mode, between dac and transport.

i have a ps audio cable , their most expensive, composed of silver. i would consider trying other hdmi cables, but have no idea what to expect. i prefer coax to the silver hdmi, but am open to the possibility that there is some copper hdmi that i may like better.

for example, i find the silver hdmi, between ps audio dac and transport, both perfect wave, unpleasant sounding--silvery.

there are many copper hdmi cables, but i have no idea where to seek a cable, what companies manufacturer them and their differences in performances.

perhaps, you have more experience than others and can provide your perceptions of differences between them, without necessarily recommending one.

as a reviewer, i probably could get a few, but i am not sure what companies to contact.

i suppose it would be interesting for readers to peruse a comparison between several copper hdmi cables.

have any suggestions richard ?

Mrtennis...I really do not have any suggestions. I am about a month into my move to components that have hdmi connections so I have very little experience. This is why I started the thread actually. I realize that it will come down to trying some in my system however it would be nice to get some information from others experience too. Frankly, I was a bit surprised at the difference in the few cables I have messed around with. I was hoping there would not be any!

May I suggest BJC Series-F2 Belden Bonded-Pair HDMI Cable from Blue Jeans Cable. http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/hdmi-cables/hdmi-cable.htm

as good as you will find at any price. I have 4 of them.

I've "read" that The Nordost is pretty good also. I was all set to try it a year or so ago but somehow got sidetracked. I've gone the Blue Jeans way for now :),
but I'm certainly not against revisiting the matter.

i can't address the audio of the cables, as i run spdifs to the preamps, but the most "realistic" looking hdmi i've found is the audioquest level 3. i will loosely and subjectively define "realistic" as having the most natural color balance (even after calibrating/tweaking) and the best image edges i've tried.

the audioquest x is terrific, too (better than the higher up level 1 in my system).

i also have wireworld and dh labs cables and they are excellent. nordost, monoprice, and mit didn't quite work as well on my tvs. i was bummed about the monoprice, as it's so cheap, and the mit because they have been the best-sounding AUDIO interconnects i've ever heard.
