Recommendations for HDMI cables specifically for audio quality

lol, I was just going to jump in.  Make sure you get a 2 meter HDMI cable.  You can get longer, but never get something under 2 meters.  Basically, it comes down to:

1 - Nordost Valhalla 2 HDMI
2 - Wire World Silver Starlight 5-2
3 - Wire World Starlight 5-2 or 6
4 - Nordost Heimdall 2
5 - Wire World Ultraviolet (any generation)
6 - Neotech NEHH-4200 cryo-treated from Audio Sensibility in Canada


Even though some of these cables are really old and are "certified" only for HDMI 1.4, they still outperform many newer cables.

Cables I have tested and rejected:

Wire World Silver Starlight 7 (and any HDMI cable using DNA Helix design).
Wire World Chroma
Audioquest Vodka
Furutech HDMI-xv1.3
Purist Audio Design HDMI (previous generation)
Transparent Audio
Wire World Sphere
Tributaries Titan UHDT

Thanks
I had checked the previous forum and wasn’t sure if the Wireworld 5-2 would be able to transmit 4k or 8 k. The platinum Wireworld 7 cost is half what I paid for the Denon so maybe its a bit too much for my budget. Dh Labs looks interesting and price-wise is enticing. If the Wireworld can move 4k its most probably 1st choice. My only misgiving is buying online the chance of forgeries. I purchased some table tennis rubber off Ali Express once and although it was still a good rubber at a good price, as I had been using the real thing it didn’t quite match it.I located a seller with Wireworld 5-2 2mfor about $200 US which is fine on my budget but just need to be sure the price sounds about right.

That pricing is about right.  The Starlight are typically $100 to $300.  The Silver Starlight are typically $300 to $500.  There isn't many up for sale used right now.

The old Starlight / Silver Starlight are built with exactly the same design as the current Ultraviolet cable.  The Ultraviolet is 4K certified by DPL Labs.  Several of these cables should be fine at 4K.

The reason these cables are so good is that they are heavy silver clad and use large 24awg conductors.  The Heimdall uses 25awg and the Neotech uses 26 awg, but they are still excellent.

Many cables use smaller conductors (such as 30awg in the Audioquest vodka).  The sound just doesn't have as much oomph and the video is not as good.

Hey, Thanks auxinput that's great advice. I will report back in due course. Might take a while to get here but Im patient and it should be worth the wait. The analogue outputs are great but it's just too much cable in too little space.Thanks again everyone who gave me advice.
