Feedback coming. Thank you all for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience with me! It is very much appreciated. I’ve decided on posting a comparison here, and also as a new post to the forum. I’ve ordered: 1 x Wireworld; 1 x Furutech; 1 x DH Labs 2.1; 1 x DH Labs 2.0; 1 x Pangea MKII &1 x Blue Jean, HDMI Cables. I probably should have ordered a MonoPrice since they seem to be becoming quite popular, but I just didn’t think of it, and have to draw the line somewhere anyway. Perhaps I’ll still get them a little later.
When the cables come in I’ll give them all 24 hours of burn in on my secondary system in the basement, then rotate them between 2 positions on my primary system for comparison: Oppo-->television, and Oppo-->Preamp, to enable both a video & audio comparison review of each. With that, I will also be able to throw into the comparison my 3 pre-existing cables from Monster Cable, Media Bridge & Amazon Basics. SACD’s & DVD-A’s will be used for the audio comparison. I also have a new (used) preamp/processor coming which I will be using: Classe’ SSP-800. Remainder of the audio system not previously mentioned is Bob Carver Raven 350 Tube Mono Blocks into Paradigm Tribute Mains, thru Silnote Cables & Speaker Wire.
I’m expecting all the new HDMI cables & the preamp to arrive in a week. Will be moving around my living room for a new & improved set up. Between that, burn in & doing the actual comparison, I expect to take 3-4 weeks before I publish my notes here. I’ll be keeping the best 2 or 3 cables, as I actually need 3 (forgot I also need one to hook up a Sony 400 Disc SACD player to the preamp). From the excess, I’ve already promised 1 as a gift to a brother & can return most in a 30 day window.
