    From Vodka 18gb to Carbon 48gb the visual quality was amazing. Didn't quite have the sparkle effect as the vodka 18gb in audio to my ears but the step up to Thunderbird 48gb was superior in video and audio I have ever heard from my system (Samsung q80r soundbar LgC9). I am also running a vodka 48gb wire through earc. Crispy and thick audio. BOOM! Buy this wire and any audioquest product. AND I NEVER WRITE REVIEWS. I was compelled.

    Saw such a difference with the vodka cables that I decided to go out all out on this last cable and can really see a difference. If you don’t have a super high end tv maybe you don’t need to spend this much and a cinnamon would be fine for you, but I’m Re-doing everything at once and this will be a good investment for he next 10 years

    Thunderbird 48Gbps is superior in audio and video quality to any other HDMI cable I've ever used. Audio and visual quality is AMAZING. Thunderbird 48Gbps delivers the purest quality available. (Great bridge for my MacBook Pro)

    Bought this cinnamon cable and a 6.99 cable. Had the same picture. Who in their right mind would spend this type of money on a cord.
