    You need to use quality cables if you spend a lot of money on your television. This gives a really clean display - no sense in putting cheap gas in an expensive car.

    Cable was a kind free upgrade from Best Buy. Seems to work well, and is much thicker than the standard cable you get with the device.

    Audioquests' lower end cables are over priced. Regular cheapo cables work just as well.

    This cable is very expensive just for Sam I cannot tell the difference from this cable and a $20 cable. I returned the cable because I did not need it and I felt it was too expensive for sound.

    I purchased this to use with my Sonos Playbar - it's not a bad cable, but very expensive - you can definitely find one just as good somewhere else for 1/2 the cost.
