New HDMI Cables

[itschris]

HDMI looks pretty flexible, how are the speaker cables some what stiff or are they flexible as well ?

You know if you look at the one pick, the speaker cables are just laying in my hand. They not bound in any way in the picture, so you can see how nice they lay.

IMO, this cable is good looking:

Despite being flat and cool looking, it is only flexible in the "flat" direction. It does the job though. Emo does offer a smaller, flexible one also:

I just received two 6ft Bluejeans FE HDMI cables

Can you post up a pic of the Blue Jean cables. I almost went with those but didn't know what they looked like.

From their site:

Typical cable, not thin, but flexible enough that I haven't had any issues with them.

I bought one of those blue Emotiva ones also, but only because I was ordering something else from them and those were on clearance. Mostly looks on that one, because flexibility is relatively poor; meaning devices that are side by side are going to be a bit awkward to connect.

So I wired up the new HDMI cables from Sewell Direct (pics on page 1). They are really good looking cables, but I have to say I ended up not liking how they looked once hooked up. The cable is almost exactly like an iPod charging cable. There's no real jacket on the cable so they look a little sloppy because they don't lay evenly.

Now granted this is a sort of ridiculous, I just have spare time at the moment so i've just been searching for the perfect HDMI cable for my re-wire. Well... a few days ago, I ordered several of Monoprice's redmere cables and I have to say, they are actually nicer looking the the Sewell Redhead cables because the cable is braided and it lays really nice. Here's a pic:



I like the red and white color combo of the Sewell Redheads, but the Monoprice cables just look better and lay nice with the braided wire. They're just shy of being as flexible as the Redheads due to the braiding but the compromise is barely worth mentioning.

Does any of this matter? Nope. I just like cool cables so take it for what it's worth.

You just cost me $49.00 with that post. I don't even need one, but I like the flat one. I am using these 3 m Verastarr Audio - Nemesis CATV Cable, but these Emotivas look cool.
