@ Zd542, There you go again, you got a laugh out of me!, I agree with you!, the context you have gets me to laughing!, Keep comeing with it!,, cheers!
Purity of the cable, 24 awg and very low capacitance is what it's all about. It's nothing more than a signal cable. Now if you need eye candy there are vendors everywhere sell that to ya and all kinds of snake oil available too.
The people of AVS are F.......insane. Wenn you do not let other people give ther own opinion. You never can and will be subjective. I never met such blind people in my life before in this business. Let them be happy with there simple sets and screens with budget cables. I guess they like to limited themselves. Who am I to Judge!!!
"Now if you need eye candy there are vendors everywhere sell that to ya and all kinds of snake oil available too."

I think I found the problem. We are talking about audio cables here. You need to listen to them, not watch them. Try that and you'll get much better results.

Also, what's snake oil?
lmbo...most vendors have taken their cables a step above what the basic requirements for signal cable should be. I can see from my previous post some could take it the wrong way. I can deal with that but there are tons of info available on this topic. Any cable that exceeds what I pointed out is definately a worthwhile listen to but not a must have.

With that said, I will also say that I see alot of overpriced cables dubbing themselves the 'elite' must have. I choose not to fall into the have to have 'elite' for my system. Beat me up all day long but I wont change in my thoughts on the matter. Your listening preferences should be based on the quality of sound, not how much you spent.
