Wow!!!! - Blu-ray Forum

JimShaw · 07-21-2008, 07:08 PM

I just go off the phone with Kimber Kable, at Kimber.com, discussing their HDMI cables. I was told they have a new HDMI cable that will take care of all my needs #HD29. I was excited: silver plated wires, gold plated contacts, high performance all for only $277.00 for a 3 foot cord.

At that price it must make my wife get me a beer anytime I want but I forgot to ask them if the “Wife Connection” was included.

I can see why you say Wow!! Only $277

Not as good the Monster J-Series HDMI Cable. It costs $500, but it is blessed by Jesus, so it is good.

Use a coat hanger

But really, I bought 3 HDMI cables for $60... together. Yeah, that's $20 each. And they work great! All this cable stuff is over-hyped. Most of the time, you can get the same quality with cheaper wires.

LOL, hence the J-Series.

That's just insane. I had to look this cable up to see it for myself.

I hope you dont use such a low quality cable. It will damage your display and receiver. My cable costs $289.00, so I know my gear is safe and my picture will be much better than yours.

Damn, the gauntlet has been cast down.

Where can I find the $500.00 HDMI??

I hate hearing about people the got suckered in to buying one of those "shoot your self in the head" HDMI cables, makes me feel for umm.

Blu-ray Fanatic · 07-21-2008, 08:13 PM

Wow is correct! Paying that much for an HDMI cable is ridiculous. My Monster 1000 only cost me $50 brand new on ebay.

JimShaw · 07-21-2008, 08:28 PM

Just purchased an HDMI 1.3b, 2 certified, 3 feet long, gold plated for $5.41 at www.mycablemart.com

I ordered the above at 1:13 pm and by 1:30 pm I received note that the cable had been shipped along with a tracking number. That was fast.

Pauliesr · 07-21-2008, 08:53 PM

I love mycablemart. Think the place is great. Have ordered from them quite a few times and have had no problems with ordering, great delivery an have been pleased with the results. Now if they were only a little bit closer to me (about a 20 minute drive from home).

Good friend of mine has fared even better as they are like 3 minutes from his home and work. So he can even go pick up and not have to pay for shipping.

nbxfan · 07-21-2008, 09:01 PM

Try www.monoprice.com. Bought 6 HDMI for $22. Replaced all of my cables, when I bought my new receiver.

Why? Unless you sold them, you wasted more money.

Well, I've been using Ethereal EM-HDMI2 2 meter cables since I jumped on the HDMI bandwagon in December 2007. Bought 9 of them from Buy.com when they first began carrying them (and at that time they were on sale for 19.99 and shipping was free when I ordered them) and now they sell for 55.75 shipped. Have never had a problem with them but have with other HDMI cables so I'm a happy camper!

err, you guys know that price of the cable doesn't matter, right? All the technology is in the HDMI port itself, the cable doesn't matter, you could spend £10 ($20) or £250($500) and there would be no difference.

True and hopefully the next generation will come with a sarcasm detector
