Awesome Cable

Posted by: Jdoddy from Sacramento, California on 01/17/2013I understand that for Video HDMI cables will all pretty much get you the same picture quality but after listening to various HDMI cables there definitely is a difference. I own the Def Tech Mythos ST speakers and the Yamaha rx-v3900 and this cable sounds awesome. It makes the sound more realistic, lively, and gives it much more depth and definition then all the other cables I've tried. If you have a decent stereo do yourself a favor and at least listen to better cables. Especially audioquest cables. If you can't hear the difference then return them. I think people who say there is no difference in HDMI cables need to listen for themselves and not just go off what people say on blogs and the Google machine. Awesome cable! Love Audio Quest.

You get what you pay for...

Posted by: vonb from Brooklyn, CT on 01/03/2013I usually do not write product reviews, but feel compelled to based on the negative comments previously left against this product. The previous reviewer makes a comment that, in the digital domain, the signal either gets there or it does not. This is not entirely true... Digital data is highly dependent on timing, much more so than analog data. As data rates get very high, as in the case of Blu-Ray source material with 1080p hi-res video and uncompressed multi-channel audio, data rates across the interconnects become extreme. New 3D technology just adds to the mix.
A lesser quality cable, with poor dielectric materials and undersized, higher impedance wire and connectors will suffer from crosstalk between digital channels and 'smearing' of the edges of the digital pulses comprising the individual data streams. Long runs of cable only exacerbate the problems. The high speed 'clocking' signals used to decode the data can misread distorted data resulting in degraded video and audio performance. And this all goes on in the digital domain. The argument can be made that high quality interconnects are more critical in the digital arena than in the analog world.
My experience with both analog (aka stereo) and video has shown that it makes sense to buy the best interconnects that you can afford. The differences may be subtle, but are significant, especially if you have invested in high quality electronic components.
All Audioquest products are good in my experience. As you move higher in their product range, the quality of materials and workmanship increases. The high quality materials in Vodka cables in this case minimize the distortions described above.
I use short Vodka 1-meter interconnects between the 3D capable Blu-Ray player and the AV receiver and between the receiver and the monitor. For other, less demanding HDMI based sources, I use Audioquest Carbon cables, also 1-meter. I have used lesser cables from other mainstream manufacturers in the past. You CAN see and hear the difference.
So, IF you have invested in top-tier electronic components, these HDMI cables ARE worth the investment...
