where to buy HDMI cables
I went through the same thing with HDMI cables.
To darn expensive.
However, I needed a 50 foot cable to finish off my setup.
Best buy wanted 1100. for the cable. After I asked what their 35 foot cables were made of seeing how they wanted 500. for them.
any way to make a long story short.
www.mycablemart.com 50foot HDMI cable was only 126.00 shipped and it's not a cheap cable it's made very well.
These guys that charge so much for cables are dreaming.
I've been in the pro audio business for 35 years and I still use 12 gauge electrical rubber wrapped cable you can buy at Home depot for 1 1.00 a foot and there is no loose what so ever, for all my my speaker systems I build.
I use twistlock plugs from eagle. and every cable I've made hasn't needed repair. I run crown, crest, carver, QSC,
I think Monster cable is so over rated and over priced, it's rediculos.
Yeah they have gold connectors but you still have to use sliver to solder.
So where is the electrical flow. people get to crazy about the flow of electrons for my taste. I get the same measurments of my test gear with the low budget as I do with the high end stuff. I'm not talkin Radio shack. But Big$$$ doesn't translate into topshelf. It just means someone has thrown enough technical BS to talk you into spending that kind of $$.
Bottom line use common sense. good luck
