[QUOTE="PV Audio, post: 6577311, member: 554493"] Yes there is, but it's not the differences companies state. The difference is in build quality only. For HDMI, your signal is 1s and 0s. That's it. That cable is either getting those ones and zeros there or it isn't and the quality of 1s and 0s cannot degrade. Therefore, all HDMI cables are suitable considering they are of the newest format (newer players and HDMI formats offer higher bandwidth i.e. hdmi 1.3a 1.3b etc.) Get a good 1.3 level cable and you're fine. Fiber optics are much the same. That signal is going to either get there or not and it's not going to degrade. If it's degraded, it's a source issue. You cannot see a difference. Go for something with good build quality in the range of 10 bucks or so and you'll be fine. I'm running all PE and firefold HDMI cables and they look as good as anything Monster puts out. [/QUOTE]
