I know a lot of people see this price on this bad-boy and are a little turned off by it. Why pay this much for a piece of copper? Have a look at the specifications and you'll understand that there is little to no markup on this at ALL.
*Compatible with most HDMI-enabled devices
For a reliable connection.
As opposed to those cheap connectors that are rarely ever compatible with the universal interface!
*Signal conductors
Controlled for digital audio direction.
Audio return channel enabled.
Guys...signal conductors. How many of those $8 cables you buy have signal conductors? You don't want your audio running backwards, do you?
*Bidirectional Ethernet communication
For efficient operation.
As opposed to simplex ethernet operation common to cheap HDMI cables
*Solid 10% silver-plated long-grain copper conductors Along with a Dielectric-Bias System reduce jitter and distortion. PVC CL3/FT4-rated jacket.
As we all already know, Silvercopper is an extremely rare metal. Just look it up. It's only found in like 0.000000000001% of the Earth's crust. Silvercopper is NOT cheap.
Look, I know it's digital. On or off, right? But have you ever had a 1 or a 0 get stuck in your cable? Sometimes they get wedged in sideways and are a real pain to get out. Silvercopper doesn't have this issue (something to do with the electron orbitals on the P-level of the atom).

At first, I thought this cable was a little pricey...
but after working diligently to remove this product surgically from its confines, it awoke and began to speak to my mind directly. I plugged it into my TV and suddenly, the highest definition was achieved by my television that day. You could literally reach out your hands and touch the very fabric of clothing on Mark Harmon's blazer from NCIS. I knew I had found true love. I've been working with my lawyer and I have officially adopted this cable as my new son (since mine was such a disappointment.) I've found new meaning to life, and this cable provided it to me.
Truly, this cable saved my life.

The "God" Cable

As I do every Sunday, I eagerly awaited the delivery of the Sunday paper. When the paper guy threw it on my porch at 4:30 in the morning I eagerly tore the plastic bag, bypassing all the news sections and headed straight for the advertisement inserts. Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreen’s, Staples… and there it was Best Buy’s advertisement. Salivating and slightly dazed from the hangover of Nyquil, I slowly thumbed through the ad when I came across it. It was exactly what I had always been looking for, a 19” Insignia LCD TV for $99.00! I knew it was to be mine; I just had to wait 6 more hours until my local Best Buy opened up. Those would be the most difficult 6 hours of my life. When I arrived, the parking lot wasn’t as full as I had expected. I was sure everyone was going to be lined up at the doors, counting down the seconds until the store opened and a surge of hungry consumers descended upon the TV section snatching up every last Insignia TV they had. That wasn’t the case at all. In fact I was the only one waiting outside. I was waiting in vain. The store had been open for thirty minutes all the while I sat outside with my Thermos of coffee and Zip-Loc of Oreos.
When I realized my mistake, I knew there would be no Insignia TVs left. A deal this good only comes around once in a blue-moon. I made my way to the TV section of the store and there before me where glorious stacks of Insignia 19” LCD TV eagerly awaiting a new home. I selected one, gently placed it into my basket when a wonderful man in a blue polo and a yellow name tag said “hello.” He noticed that I had made a wise decision on the television that was in my basket and suggested to enhance my viewing pleasure, I should think about a DVD player. “My dear sir, a DVD player is far too rich for my blood” I proclaimed! Shaking his head, the blue man suggested I follow him to the Insignia DVD player selection. To my amazement they offered a state of the art machine for just $49.00! I could hardly believe it! Knowing the Gods must be crazy; I loaded the DVD player into my cart and asked if I needed any cables. And that’s when I discovered the AudioQuest Coffee 39.4' HDMI Cable in white. It is the pinnacle of audio/visual technology. I knew tethered with my Insignia TV and DVD player, I was going to be able to watch The A-Team reruns in all their glory. It is the ultimate; it is the “God” cable! I was then sold Black Tie protection on the cable and not the TV! The best buy I’ve ever made has been this cable. You will not be sorry. I highly recommend picking up two!

I got one of these cables for Christmas from my girlfriend. You should have saw everyone's faces when I opened it, my Mother was jealous and my Dad was speechless. After everyone opened their presents my Dad and I took it down to the Man Cave to hook this thing up. Let me tell you the instructions we're so simple. It was a 2 step process. It also had pictures and diagrams to help you, I mean a trained dolphin could hook thing up. We sat on the couch and pressed the power button, now the Picture quality can't ever be described. I turned to my father and said WOW. It was also the perfect length. Its like they came into my house and measured the spaced needed and designed a cable for me. I never thought a cable would ever make me this happy.
Only one disadvantage : Don't let your dog by it, the cables has a coffee smell and your dog will go crazy for it. Unfortunately one bite and the cables gone.
Lucky for me.. The girlfriend had a second one in my stocking incase this happened.

As everyone knows, the most important part of your home theater system is the HDMI cable. I was SOOO happy when placing the order for this, now I am one step closer to eventually buying a high definition television now that I have the cable! And when the cable arrived, it was beautiful - like being smacked in the mouth by the hand of God. I opened the box, and Best Buy was kind enough to have also included with it a newborn litter of kittens! So until I can save up another $2,200 for a television, blu-ray player, iPod, receiver, speakers, X-Box, wall mount kit, and catch up on my child support payments, I can sleep soundly knowing I made the right choice, and that 8 fluffy kittens are keeping me company.

I bought four of these to replace my older Monster Ultra-High Speed cables.
My living room television recently began to rip it's wall-mount out of the wall due to weight overload and so I have the stand back on it for it to rest on the floor. Well, my kids were running around the house one day chasing the dog and there was an open meadow scene on some movie, well, I guess from how clear it looked, the dog thought he would be able to run through it. It was the most hilarious thing I've ever seen!
Unbelievable clarity, I swear it looks as if I could put my arms right through it, or rather, my snout! HAHAHAHA!
AudioQuest cables are the way to go!

Bidirectional Ethernet communication.....enough said. That alone is worth $2000 price of admission! Bottom line this baby performs. After spending years wasting my time experimenting with just directional ethernet communication this gets the job done. Right out of the box i hooked this up to my memorex vcr/dvd combo and my best of Victor Borge tapes were jumping off of the screen....looked amazing I really felt as though for the first time all 4 heads of my VHS were being utilized to their fullest potential . Now if i could just get a new rewinder that worked this good!! LOL ;) 36 month financing too!!

Best. Cable. Ever.

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
So I bought a great TV about six months ago and it is very nice. It's a 46" LED 3D TV and the picture is clean and very realistic. But when I would go to sleep at night, I felt like something was missing. I started upgrading items for my system one component at a time. It started with my stereo receiver and then was the speakers, cable box, changed picture providers, speaker wire, theater furniture, TV Stand...nothing seemed to give it the extra push i was looking for. My neighbor suggested a new HDMI cable. GENIUS! It's like an angel came down and whispered the secret of life into my ear.
I went to apply to the local University for engineering course and studied until I was top of my class. I went to India and gathered the finest gold and took rubber from the oldest Para tree in Brazil to build my own cable. Nothing seemed to work to my expectations.
I then made my travels to the local Best Buy to see what they would recommend...and THERE. IT. WAS. Audioquest had perfected the HDMI cable and they were selling it for the most reasonable price of just barely over $2000. As an engineer, I was able to dissect this cable and put it back together again without harming the integrity of it and can I just say it was like seeing my first child for the first time. No, scratch that....it was BETTER than seeing my child. I was able to plug in the cable which was the perfect length for my TV and watch it with the most intense colors I've ever seen. I would not only recommend this to a friend, I'd recommend it to anyone as proof that heaven exists and that it's located at Audioquest. This cable was worth an additional $200,000 in educational, engineering, and travel expenses to determine what I needed could be found at Best Buy. So for those "tech geeks" who think that everything is just 1's and 0's, I submit this: Are you an engineer able to produce a cable? I think not.

The picture quality after hooking this up to my 42 inch Westinghouse HDTV was so beautiful that i literallly have wept for days, so much so that i had to go the hospital for dehydration but thats another story.
The best part is the price i mean 2k for this kind of beauty is such a steal! Like i had to sell my car to get it but totally worth it! Who needs a car when you can ride the bus and dream about the picture quality that comes out of your tv with this cable plugged in.

I bought this cable with my tax return. I had wanted to buy a new HDTV, but when the Best Buy employee turned me towards this cable, I absolutely had to have it! My 42" Sony TV that I bought back in 2001 has a maximum resolution of 720p, but the employee assured me by simply using this cable, my TV would be capable of showing images in full 1080p @ 240hZ. I must say he was absolutely right! They also sold my a HDMI-DVI adapter since my TV has no HDMI inputs. So glad I did not waste my money on a larger more modern TV when this cable did the trick! Now I don't need to try and find a home for my TV with this upgrade!
On a side note: My audio comes straight out of my cable box and into the back of my Audiovox Cassette/CD combo player for clarity and easy volume control right next to my recliner. With the length on this cable I noticed that the picture never matched with the audio presumably because of the monstrous length. I solved this problem by simply cutting the cable down to a more manageable length and twisting the wires inside back together and taping them with some Scotch tape I had around the house. (Never use anything other than 3M brand Scotch tape! It is the BEST!). I did make the mistake of cutting it down 6" too short between my cable box and TV input, but I simply spliced in a 12" length of cable, using the extra 6" in case I need to change my components at a later date.

The Temptation
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
What can you say about perfection? Nothing
This cable is way under-priced for what you receive. When I was introduced to this cable it gave me the idea for temptation. Without temptation, I could not have created sin. I went back in time and found Eve, tempted her with forbidden knowledge and it has led to this magnificent technological break through. This cable has opened the Gates of Hades and there is no turning back now.

Great Deal! Newegg sells the same cable for $2455

After researching for weeks for a new TV and Blue-Ray player I finally decided on a 40" Dynex LCD. Even the employee at Best Buy said this was the best bang for the buck. He also informed me the Insignia is the same as Toshiba, so I should just that purchase that brand for my Blu-Ray player.
I brought every thing home and attempted to set it up. It was a pain to setup, I could not understand the "easy" to read instructions.I also did not know I needed an HDMI cable. So I went back to the Best Buy store and the employee sold me on this, wow I was relieved. I was ecstatic that my new purchase was going to be even better than I originally thought because of this exquisite cable.
I was also pleased to find out that Geek Squad would install all of this for the low price of $129.00. I even purchased the extended warranty for only $249.00 in case my cable broke. With so much data travelling through the cable at such high speeds this is a must.

The HDMI cable we have all been waiting for

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Anticipating a great tax return this year, I took a chance on this cable for my high definition needs. I have been buying those cheap, ugly dynex cables all my life, and had this terrible problem with my cats chewing through the cable. 4 cats later, I wised up and bought this bad boy. Those solid 10% silver-plated long-grain copper conductors sure have worked wonders for me. My new cat "Rambo" hasn't been able to chew through it yet! Best of all, I am actually receiving better image quality than 1080p, they must under-rate this thing so the word doesn't get out.
Now I know, there are place out there that might sell this amazing cable a little cheaper, but with the knowledge of the Geed Squad and Best Buy on my side, you know what the right choice is.

Great for saving space

I got mine just in time to launch nexus II, my third space exploration vehicle. The mission was in peril as I would have trouble concentrating on the xenus without first having pumped up by watching Iron Eagle III on blu-ray. I needed a cable that would reach the full 39.2 feet from the blue ray player to me death laser turret. My last cable set up was much thicker and we nearly lost the war when it jammed my holo-rudder. As this was to be the final battle for space supremacy I needed something more efficieent.
THIS WORKED GREAT
a blasted like 50 of them, and single handedly stopped them from detroying the known dimensions of the univere.
So yeah the cable is great for saving space, and also saving space

Nevermind Ivanah's review. This hdmi cable is top notch. I was utterly amazed at the quality with which this was made and the level of clarity I got out of my 19" hdtv. I was amazed by this wondercord so much that I purchased a backup in the event for some God foresaken reason they would stop selling this gem. Also it would come in handy in the event I was to purchase a second tv one day, seeing as how another is so not necessary in my one room studio apartment. Definitely the best investment I have ever made

Words do not describe the feeling I get when I think about how happy I am with this cable. I consistently find the need to pop in my copy of Chinese Democracy. You should stop by your local Best Buy to pick up a copy of that as well.

Jortstradamus knew this would be a great product before anyone even knew about making it. It's worth every penny. By wearing jorts that I purchased from garage sales over the past year and knowing before anyone else that this was coming, even before the makers of the cable, I was able to save up my money for this.
