QED Qunex P-CV (2m) Component Cable

Recommended Posts

The more discerning people will recognise that this is just about as good as it gets regarding component cables - What Hi-Hi Awards 2006 had this to say about it:

 

'This is the best value component cable we know.......delivers progressively scanned images and the results will be pin-sharp and rendered with rich natural colours. Noise levels are low, and even that tough nut, black-level definition, is dealt with confidently'

 

Cost £90 new 1 month ago - make me an offer that includes posatge!

 

(Remember, it's a 2 metre cable so dont get confused with 1 metre cables costing £45!)

This is the mutts nuts. My system is fully wired with QED. Excellent item and will make a huge difference to a quality system.

 

 

Innit! Since moving to HDMI these 90 quid cables are just sending video signals of the menu function of my amp to my plasma - overkill me thinks!

Yep, definately overkill. My mate made me some custom component leads using QED gear so my DVD player and Xbox 360 were switching in the amp and getting full component quality to the TV.

 

As said before folks, this is a must if you appreciate quality!

Just hope you didn't go for the expensive QED HDMI cable

 

Yep - QED-P @£40 why? (if that is the expensive one)! Seemed to have a good write up and whilst I am watching The Lord of The Rings on me 42" Plasma and Denon 1930 with sound pumped through my Sony STR-DA1200 amp, delivered by my Kef3005 speakers, the picture and sound is mighty good!

 

With a bottle of Altos De Tamaron 2005 and a 2006 Azure to be picked up in two weeks - life is good!

 

Also went clay pigeon shooting for the first time in my life today (had an hour instructor led course) I got the first 4 clays out of the trap!

 

Life is v. v. sweet at mo :thumbs:

£40 for a HDMI cable :wacko:

 

With Analogue signals like Component/Audio etc cables can make a HUGE difference but with digitals its a completly different story. As long as all the 0 & 1s get down the line you get 100% picture.

 

Can't be arsed to dig it up but the specs for HDMI but they state what quality of signal it must have and it works out that to be a 'HDMI' cable you can only have 1 error every X bits which works out something like 1 wrong pixel every 5 or so seconds - now thats 1 wrong frame so 1 wrong pixel at 50Hz = 1/50th of a second which there is NO way the human eye could spot.

 

Simply put you will probably find that the budget £5 HDMI cable from the local shop will work as well as £50/£500 quid one from a specialist manufacturer.

...I got a budget one as well which I dont use. But I know where you are coming from. For example, many makes try to sell the fact that all of their copper cabling is 99.9% pure but for copper to be sold as 'copper' it has to be 99.9% pure anyway! You obviously know what you are talking about but there must be a difference in what a premium cable can offer over a budget one such as shielding capabilities from 'noise' etc?

Oh yeah theres definatly a difference in noise etc but the difference is with digital 99% of the time it won't actually make enough difference to affect whether it sees a 1 or a 0, with analogue oh much worse as its using the actual afected value for something
