HDMI Cable

I recently changed my system and now use HDMI connections. I began with the stock cables then switched to Monster, then MIT and the differences were very apparent. The Monster cable (Ultimate I believe, whatever their best and most expensive is) was better in every way and has me very curious about what cables you folks prefer. I did some searches and although there are threads comparing hdmi cables, they are a bit older and this is evolving rapidly so I thought a new thread would be ok. I have ordered some Wireworld Silver 5.2 to compare as they seemed to be preferred by many. I should have them in a few days. Please share with me what HDMI cables you would recommend trying.

i won't dispute the fact that you heard differences.

in two channel stereo, the application of hdmi, is usually in the digital mode, between dac and transport.

i have a ps audio cable , their most expensive, composed of silver. i would consider trying other hdmi cables, but have no idea what to expect. i prefer coax to the silver hdmi, but am open to the possibility that there is some copper hdmi that i may like better.

for example, i find the silver hdmi, between ps audio dac and transport, both perfect wave, unpleasant sounding--silvery.

there are many copper hdmi cables, but i have no idea where to seek a cable, what companies manufacturer them and their differences in performances.

perhaps, you have more experience than others and can provide your perceptions of differences between them, without necessarily recommending one.

as a reviewer, i probably could get a few, but i am not sure what companies to contact.

i suppose it would be interesting for readers to peruse a comparison between several copper hdmi cables.

have any suggestions richard ?
