I'm waiting for the price to increase significantly before I pick up a dozen of these to use as ties for my rose bushes.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not stupid, just uneducated in electrical theory. Electrical engineers like myself know that you evaluate and specify digital I/O transmission lines with objective metrics such as Bit Error Ratio and Eye patterns, not flowery language and nonsensical buzzwords. Not stupid, but they apparently think the engineers that wrote the HDMI 2.1 specification and the Premium Cable certification program are so incompetent and stupid that a multi-$100 cable is needed to properly implement it, even over a distance this short. In reality, you can buy Premium HDMI cables that have gone through the Certification program of the HDMI organization for 1/50 of this price. Even at 12 Gbps per pair (48 Gbps total), sending ones and zeros error-free over 7.5 feet ain't that hard. Note that AudioQuest is not listed as a participant in the Premium Cable certification program nor is it even listed as an HDMI organization Adopter, so "caveat emptor".
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.***only if you are running OVER 25 FEET*** Short/normal lengths (you won't notice any differences) Longer runs 25+ ft (AVR to another room= sound and video quality drops but barely noticed by average people) ***HIGH-RES AUDIO*** (but most people don't have trained hearing = nor willing to pay atleast $10k for proper set-ups)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I guess me lol & 1000’s of others with competent hearing/vision..
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.They're great cables. Some people write long paragraphs trying to dunk on these cables. Makes you wonder if they're trying to convince others, or just themselves. I'll just say this: Saying an HDMI just sends 1's and 0's so it either works or it doesn't is oversimplifying things a bit. No, this cable will not "enhance" your signals, which was never claimed in the first place. It will simply help prevent your signal from being interfered with or degraded. If you don't care about that, buy a product you think is more appropriate.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.People that understand cable capability's and weather your system would bennafit from the cable in question or not. Do some research and educate yourself your ignorance is showing!
