I used to use the Redmere cable for my plasma TV, and it's very good (especially for the money). On the advice of a fellow Audiogon member, I tried an HDMI cable from ApolloAV. (the 1.4 version not the 2.) that is silver plated copper and sells for $20.00. It bested the Redmere very noticeably. A good friend recently sent me the link above for the D Tech cable and said it was even better than the Apollo. I bought one and he was correct. Try one. It's a no brainer for the money. |
I use a 33 foot Redmere for my video processor to projector run. I had to do this because another 23awg Beldon cable wasn't working. Though, I don't know about using Redmere for short run or audio purposes. That being said, I recently discovered that a lower cost Beldon cable was not performing properly. A 5 foot Beldon Series FE cable that is supposed to be "Premium certified" to support 4K and 18Gbps bandwidth was actually smearing the sound when just using 1080p resolution and normal old compressed dolby digital. I'm was originally using this Neotech cable: I went back to using this and it removed all the smeared audio effect. Audio was crystal clear using this cable. It's only just a "HDMI 1.4" certified cable, but it still is sonically superior to the Beldon. One thing I have figured out here is that silver/silver-plated makes a significant difference for digital/hdmi cables. The Wire World stuff may be better than my Neotech, but I haven't felt a need to go that direction yet. |
I have just ordered Mediabridge HDMI Cable from amazon for my new Apple TV 4k after going through these few recommendations https://www.indabaa.com/best-hdmi-cables-apple-tv-4k/ |
