One of the best HDMI cable?

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.

Awhile back, I mentioned the Jensen CATV filter. I had a pair of Mapleshade Vivilink 2+ at the time and initially had problems using them with the Oppo 203. At the time, I and those on the Oppo owners forum thought it a 1.4 vs. 2.0 problem. I don’t know if firmware updates or changing cable boxes fixed it, but by the time I got them back from Mapleshade, they worked. That led me to compare them with decent store bought and Monoprice cables, and I couldn’t see a difference. That’s testament to the Jensen filter (I wouldn’t think it applies to OTA, but don’t know). That’s video only. The best audio I’ve heard from both cable TV and Oppo, both via a DirectStream dac, are the silver cables formerly sold by PS Audio.

(Suggestion to Mapleshade owners: If something needs return for technical support, ignore what it says on their website and always send it through the main location, not directly to Pierre S. That way it’s recorded in their system and they feel responsible. I didn’t, and had to threaten to go to the MD Attorney General to get the main office’s full attention and my cables back from Pierre seven months later.)

Case solved. There are no differences between cables! Horray! Break out the campaigne! 🥂 Many thanks to costco_emoji. (We won’t talk about other tests where there were huge differences.)
