ps audio hdmi cables

hi, can anyone comment on the performance of either of the two hdmi cables that ps audio offers.

one cable is has more silver in it so it is priced a little bit higher.

my main concern is how either cable handles the audio.
is the sound quality worthy of an upgrade?

i would be using it from my blu ray into my integra dhc 80.1 for audio.

thanks everyone

A lot of folks are buying the 'higher silver content' HDMI. I noticed the Pangea is discontinuing the low silver content cable. I hav a couple of high content and one really long low content Pangea HDMI. All I can say is they work really well.

Often ignored is the fact that if a HDMI cable fully meets the EEEC spec, all are equal. Paying more provides nothing more. Yes, cables can be defective, e. g. not meeting spec, and there you will hear a difference. So, beware of vendors seeking your wallet.

Buconero: being "equal" spec wise may be true. sounding the same is another story. have tried 4 different HDMI lines and all 4 sounded "different" in my system. can't say one was "better" then the rest but can tell you which one i liked best in my specific system (PSA's silver I2S).

it's a combination of sonic signature *and* personal preference. not to imply the sonic signature will be identical with every set-up. i will tell you different hdmi cables sound different. i did not see any difference when using them for video but when i came to sound, there was an obvious difference.

regarding the question at hand....i LOVE my PSA I2S-12 silver hdmi's.

cheers
