One of the best HDMI cable?

Awhile back, I mentioned the Jensen CATV filter. I had a pair of Mapleshade Vivilink 2+ at the time and initially had problems using them with the Oppo 203. At the time, I and those on the Oppo owners forum thought it a 1.4 vs. 2.0 problem. I don’t know if firmware updates or changing cable boxes fixed it, but by the time I got them back from Mapleshade, they worked. That led me to compare them with decent store bought and Monoprice cables, and I couldn’t see a difference. That’s testament to the Jensen filter (I wouldn’t think it applies to OTA, but don’t know). That’s video only. The best audio I’ve heard from both cable TV and Oppo, both via a DirectStream dac, are the silver cables formerly sold by PS Audio.

(Suggestion to Mapleshade owners: If something needs return for technical support, ignore what it says on their website and always send it through the main location, not directly to Pierre S. That way it’s recorded in their system and they feel responsible. I didn’t, and had to threaten to go to the MD Attorney General to get the main office’s full attention and my cables back from Pierre seven months later.)

Funny.... I was watching a comparison of some $1000 Wired world HDMI cable and a cable that came in the box with some other piece of gear and the guy couldn't find ANY difference in performance piping graphics off his computer to his display at the fastest refresh rates and highest resolutions. Linus Tech Tips. Go watch it and save!

Case solved. There are no differences between cables! Horray! Break out the campaigne! 🥂 Many thanks to costco_emoji. (We won’t talk about other tests where there were huge differences.)

Of course we won't talk about them because they don't exist. 

costco_emoji, not that you’re aware of, anyway. Hee, hee. Perhaps there’s a library near you. I suggest a visit. Maybe more than one visit.
