One of the best HDMI cable?

...one of their newer HDMI cables controlled for directionality...

Have you tried one direction or the other to see/hear for differences? If so, please report back your findings. Thanks.

Yuk, yuk! 🤡 

You might consider looking around for some new material. That one’s been used for power cords that are controlled for directionality already.

The monoprice hdmi cables that were supposed to pass 4K HDR were causing the video to drop out periodically. They worked fine on 1080p but not 4K. Switched to Nordost Heimdall 4K and now have no problem.  These were 3m cables.

I purchased, and then returned a set of Mapleshade Plus HDMI and digital  coax about a year ago.  The connector fit was extremely loose on the HDMI and caused digital boxes to form in a scene displaying a treeline, where my other HDMIs did not.  There was obvious fuzziness in certain spots of various scenes.  The digital coax was the exact opposite.  Its fit was FAR too tight, and it transmitted no signal.   Again, where my other coaxs had no issue.  Obvious quality controls issues at Mapleshade.  I did keep their  Clearview double helix plus speaker wire and antistatic brush, which have both been excellent at  their price point.  I reverted to the MC Ultra black HDMI,  which is no joke excellent, but I could not recommend at their retail price.   Bought them cheap at auction.
