dvi cables and price vs performance


I am getting my first dvi component. It be the Voom stb. I see prices all over the map for the 5mt. length I need. e.g. 49 to 275. Does anybody have any input on how much I should spend;and maybe a site to purchace ?? Thanks,George

Jee,I never thought about burnin---To bad my PAD System Enhancer disc is audio-only.---I have the XLO one as well. Using whatever cable you end up with;--Your dv-50 should be a good test instrument. Toss back any impressions / one vs. the other. I did post this at avs and got one reply. The poster says 5mts. is about as long a cable / before getting sparkles on the screen. Not that I would know----yet.
I use a 5 meter Tributaries Cable that cost me $125. The only other type my shop carries is Transparent, and you don't want to know the price of their 5m.
In any case it works great, and I have faith in my shop that if it wasn't good they wouldn't carry it. I wouldn't spend more.
I just got my Voom install today. I'm set up with a powered splitter. This unit allows the picture on my projector / or the picture on my rptv at the same time. I doubt I loose any pq this way.----The nice thing is this dvi thing is competing with $250 worth of Wireworld cables at 1/3 the price.--(That price is per-run to ea. display)--including the pow. splitter.--Not bad, love when hookup is this good / for this price.---Voom impressions on another thread.
