haha, not a clue, but its all digital so all the same thing.
This is coming from the main wiring guy here at MTV, who has been working with electronics for about 50 years, so its a good source.
the only difference may be durability, however once its connected, its connected so i wouldnt worry about that.
Read and make up your own mind. Just my opinion bud. Take a look on the whathifi forums and see all the talk about HDMI cables there. The nature of compression etc. means it's not 'just' a digital signal going down it. Go with what you're happy with.
I'm happy to pay the dollar as long as its actually better. No point if its not though
And you've stumbled onto something that is a long on-going 'debate' point. Lots of people claim 'it's digital so it's either on or it's off', others feel since it is a cable and the nature of how information passes along it, there are differences. IMO, between the right and wrong cables there is a difference. With HD it is about sharpness and stability, something the connections play a big part in. A cheaper but very good cable is the Cambridge Audio HDMI, £30. But if you don't think you'll be able to tell the difference, it isn't worth it.
I'm not entirely sure that I would be able to tell the difference to be honest. I used to put 95 Ron in the Lambo as I didn't notice the difference from 97 Ron+ stuff, I probably couldn't tell the differnce between £8000 a pot wax and a tub of Turtlewax from Halfords, i think you get my drift
But then I don't wanna fork out £1000 and then not get the best out of it
