HDMI is all the same. Unless someone can show definitive refutation of CNet's article, I wouldn't spend any more than I have to on HDMI cables.

There is no difference between HDMI cables. A Best Buy cape is just as good as a Silverlight. CNet has a pretty detailed expose of this.

Ozzy, if I'm wrong plain and simple, then the technicians and writers at CNet and other sources (see below) are also wrong. What most of these sources say is that cable length determines picture quality as does the HDMI sending/receiving circuitry in your components.

Problem is, I have. I've used $15 Best Buy HDMI; I've used Audioquest cables costing over $300 new. My receiver is a 4K-ready Onkyo with tremendous rep. I've never used more than a 6' HDMI cord from either the receiver or the laptop or the tv. And I really can't tell the difference.

Power cords, however, I can.

So, if there's this huge discrepancy between the technical evaluations and customer testimony, what accounts for it?

Glaucon - wow, bringing out the troll label for someone who's simply a skeptic. Whatever. Keep plugging away at your little HDMI world.

Apparently, these guys are trolls, too:

Glauconite - it seems as if you see what you believe. Take a page from your namesake and look beyond the shadows. I'm not doubting your account of your perception, but based on my own HDMI experience and the many professional accounts out there, that there simply isn't enough difference in HDMI to warrant any expense. I mean, are you saying that all the articles and links I've supplied are erroneous?

If you'd bothered to read the articles, some do mention the Redmere amps.
