HDMI Cable comparisons


I'm retiring my XBR CRT and installing an Elite plasma very soon. I've gotten mixed suggestions regarding HDMI quality and brand. I'm interested in hearing comparisons of cables you may have upgraded and the differences. Are there any HDMI cable reviews?

It seems like there is a lot going on in such a small package.

I was only trying to point out that in some cases of borderline equipment performance then an audible difference "might" occur.

Not in the context of $100+ (or even $50+) HDMI cables vs. $20 HDMI cables of the same length and gauge. If the cables have the same gauge and length, they will behave the same... You don't have to pay excessive amounts of money to get the same gauge and length as some companies that charge $200+. The jitter is going to be the same amount in both cables, yet you are insinuating someone should pay more for one digital than the other because it "might" be different. It isn't different... So don't pay more for a cable to get an imaginary benefit.

That thread I pointed out to you also mentions that jitter is eliminated at several places in the receiving end before the signal is turned into analog (though there was some questioning of buffer size needed to prevent overrunning the buffer). Plus there were links to pages that provide DBTs with jitter. It really is a non-issue now a days at the levels these preprocessing units function at...
Russ, get'cha a case of beer for that link, BINGO! While not much was said regarding the quality of materials such as silver plated conductors and such, the big issue turns out to be length.

So with that, I'm ordering a batch of Blue Jeans cables simply because of the incremental lengths they offer. Still, I'm going into the next video boutique and ask for a high end/low end HDMI demo.
