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.

You can find it right here: http://www.usa.denon.com/ProductDetails/3429.asp

We had a fun thread going on stuff like this here, but it faded away. Pity.

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.

And you still got taken to the cleaners

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.

Wasn't sure what the compliance was on my other HDMI cables, and I upgraded to a new HD-DVD player (for use with my standard DVDs only because it was dirt cheap not purchasing any HD-DVD's) and now have an xbox elite along with the PS3...so I have enough high end equipment that getting new cabling for such a cheap price was worth it to me. My receiver was a $1700 receiver so $22 total for cables wasn't a big deal. Mostly I was upgrading cables from component to HDMI as well. That plus the hassle of doing any wiring...seemed like a good time to do it when installing the new receiver. Took a good chunk of cabling out.

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!

UKTruBlu · 07-21-2008, 09:15 PM

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.
