I would recommend Audioquest Cinnamon cable. I would skip their forest cable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.When it comes to choosing cables, there's no one "right" cable - it's a case of going with the best cable you can. This is because cables cannot improve the signal they carry, they can only make improvements by introducing less distortion into the system and doing less harm to the signal. The less distortion, the better. The best cable therefore is the one that introduces the least distortion and affects the signal as little as possible. And this is true for all cables - even HDMI cables! And the further up the line you go, the better it gets. If you buy the best cable within your budget, you'll be assured of getting the best possible performance.

They either get from one side of the cable to the other or they don't. Another way of saying this is that the picture on your TV is either 100% perfect or 0% black. Spending more on a digital cable makes no sense. The signals through a $5 cable are EXACTLY THE SAME as through this $200+ cable. That means the picture is exactly the same. And all the fancy, expensive, gold, silver, etc do absolutely nothing because all the components in the TV use regular soldered connections. So the signal goes through this super expensive cable, through the gold, through the silver and then goes through regular everyday solder before the signal gets to the screen. So what does the gold do? Absolutely nothing except make this cable expensive. There used to be a point to expensive cables 20 years ago when everything was analog, but today all you're doing with an expensive cable is throwing your money away.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.For your new Q6 I would get at least Cinnamon or better. I got Cinnamon for my new Sony but right after that Audioquest cables went on sale so I upgraded to Chocolate for just a little more. I don't know if it looks any better since I only watched the Cinnamon a couple of days. But I feel better.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I purchased the chocolate and it has worked perfect for me for my 4k UHD tv. The only difference in the cables is the amount of gold or silver this is in the wire itself (which ever is being used). This amount of the precious metal in the cable increases the quality (sound and picture) of the source. I personally did not want to spend $800 in an HDMI cable when there will not be much difference in the picture.
