Anway all cables that display the HDMi logo on the packaging have to conform to a set of guidelines and all these cable manufacturers have to send away samples of their cables to be tested. So in theory the £100 monster and the £3 tesco special have all passed the same testing.
Speaker wire isn't passing a digital signal though, so higher quality components will result in better quallity, but there's a point of diminishing returns and I think £1,080p/m is way way past that point.
The most I'd pay for speaker cable is £50 MAXIMUM for all my speaker cabling, so that's about £2.50 per meter at around 20 meters.
There is no reason to believe anything in hi-fi will sound better with better components. I've seen no evidence that any speaker cable will sound better than a reasonably well made copper wire of sufficient thickness to carry the signal (which should cost about £1/metre). That is, no evidence other than these ridiculous what hi-fi style tests which are so flawed that they offer nothing of use to a buyer.
If people are convinced they can see/hear a difference in such cables, i'd seriously recommend going and knocking on James Randi's door.
So why is my sound poor on the blu ray but fine on the sky + running via scart? I don't want to buy an expensive cable, but if it sorts out the sound then I'll do it.
right, what is the sound output on the bluray player set to? needs to be 2 channel stereo over hdmi. try that.
the cable will not change the sound.
Ye it does unfortunately. When I buy a HDMI cable to trunkate I will either buy 3 (2 spare) or spend a bit more on something like a Mark Grant cable or even something from Blue Jeans.
The reason you get certain cables with ‘better blacks’ etc is the differences in the shielding technology and implementation.
