Posted by: BabyDaddy from Tampa, FL on 10/25/2012I read a lot of great reviews about this cable but didn't believe that such an inexpensive cable could perform so well. I hooked up my Magnavox Blu Ray to my Dynex TV and I was somewhat disappointed. The picture often became pixelated and "froze" for a second or two. I realized that the connecter on the cable had loose tolerances so I duct taped it to the back of the TV and the Blu Ray and the problem disappeared. Looks pretty good now - about like my Amazon Basics cable. If I could give it 4.5 stars I would but given that AudioQuest is such a good company I'm giving it 5 stars.

Best investment for an enthusiast.

Posted by: alldeliberatespeed from on 10/12/2012I guess the best way to put this is, these cables have kept the best signal quality going to my Panasonic VT50. I was reading some of the other review and was a bit skeptical. But I guess that the people rating this cable poorly either don't have the equipment needed to see the difference or aren't perceptive enough. The thing about cables are that they can make or break your system, if you have a low quality source like VCR, this cable will deliver that low quality signal as accurately as possible. It will not improve the source. It can only keep it from looking worse. I would recommend this cable to anyone who wants to never buy another hdmi cable again, and wants to have the best possible picture their equipment will offer.

The Greatest Investment I've Ever Made
5
Posted by: Reptar from New York, KS on 09/19/2012Before I get to in-depth with this AMAZING cable let me tell you about my setup. I have a Coby - Refurbished 19" Class / 720p / 60Hz / LCD HDTV and Dynex™ - Progressive-Scan DVD Player.
I was quite satisfied with the quality of both devices, but something was lacking. After a month or so of research I figured out the problem! I had a Monster - 1000HDX 35' HDMI Cable. The "salesman" at Best Buy assured me this cable would be perfect, if not overkill. I was skeptical from the start, and instantly I could see the HORRIBLE quality (mainly due to the length of the cable, something about a "signal leak").
I live next to a wind-farm and apparently the generators emit some type of frequency that was battling/interrupting with my home theater setup, ergo disrupting the signal traveling in the cable. I figured out that the plastic wire cover was mainly to blame. In a fit of rage I returned to best buy and demanded a refund! After getting my money back I decided to do some research on a cable perfect for me! The AudioQuest - Diamond 2' High-Speed HDMI Cable - Dark Gray/Black. Their are literally thousands of reasons to buy this thing, but the main reason was the silver plate connector and the wire shielding! The silver plate connectors really make the difference, I swear that I see live events happen before the T.V. stations (no lie) and the Dielectric-Bias System really protects my cable from the wind generator frequency! The only downside to this product is that it isn't compatible with most televisions, luckily for me I made sure to get a future proof T.V. that is honestly the best t.v. on the market. This cable is a no brainer! (if you have no brains get it!)

The title says it all

Posted by: Zila from Beverly Hills on 08/27/2012The title say sit all "Diamond 2' High-Speed HDMI". When I say its "fast" i mean its "FAST". Live TV programming comes in at least 20% faster than it did before. I see live action sports play out on my TV before anyone else now, much faster than watching the game in the stands (talk about old scool! lol). Thanks AudioQuest! YOUR THE BEST!

Good enough for Curiosity Rover good enough for me
5
Posted by: dogcatcher from USA on 08/24/2012After reading how the Mars Curiosity Rover team decided to go with the AudioQuest Diamond HDMI cable to handle the transmission of data from the Mastcams and Hand Lens Imager I was sold. This is the ONLY HDMI cable that is free from the interference emitted by the Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator and I figured it would be good enough to connect my new Sony Blu-Ray player and TV while avoiding intereference from my high-powered grow lamps.
Unfortunately, the shielding process used in the cable designed to transmit crystal clear images over the 100,000,000 mile trip (14 minutes to transmit) causes severe lip sync issues when used under normal atmospheric conditions here on Earth. Not wanting to let my near $1k investment go to waste I spent hours on AVSForum looking for a solution.
Luckily, forum member "NASAROCKS" came to the rescue. He was one of the engineers that worked on the Curiosity Rover imaging system. He instructed me to attach a super ferrous magnet right outside the jacket over the 19th pin. PRESTO - worked like a charm - no more lip sync issues.
I am stopping all 529 contributions for my kids college until I have enough to buy additional AudioQuest HDMI cables for my other TV's and my fifth-wheeler RV.
Thanks Best Buy and AudioQuest!!

Crisp Picture Quality for the price!
5
Posted by: DrDumasPHD from Phoenix, Alaska on 08/24/2012I bought 6 of these for my medical office to get the best quality picture out of my Sony KP43t75 as well as my computer monitors. I was a bit apprehensive about getting these because the price is so low and I've always had a "you get what you pay for" mentality. However, the sales man at best buy assured me that when it comes to signal cables, this is truly a best buy!
I brought it to my office and to my dismay, they didn't fit into any of the slots on the behind any of the TVs. Luckily, when I went back to best buy, they had an RCA to HDMI converter! For a few more bucks, I was able to use these cables. The black levels on my CRT tv's are very deep, much deeper than any LCD on the market! Thanks Audio Quest!
p.s. Best Buy offers a 2 year replacement plan, totally worth it if you've got pets, children, or plants at home!

Posted by: clutch22 from on 08/24/2012This thing is just incredible. It really brings my rca ct-100 to life! Infact, I rewatched the transformers trilogy using this cable and get this - it actually made the plot better! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!

14 gauge wire sounds better.

Posted by: sietetrescincoprimo from GA on 08/23/2012I bought one of these for my DVD player. Decided to go to Home Depot and see how it would compare to solid 14 gauge wire. I built a connector and soldered a bunch of 14 gauge wire between them. The signal is identical. I feel like I spent too much.

Posted by: bgomski from on 08/23/2012I bought this cable for my 17" bedroom tv on the 36 months no interest offer from Best Buy and WOW! its like Im watching HD for the first time. This cable actually reprograms your TV to 4k resolution and creates a glasses free 3D image. A must buy!
