whats the deal with these mediabridge cables they sell on amazon, i look and the get crazy good reviews in general, and are quite cheap, i know its not professional quality and nowhere near the best, but are they worth the trouble at all, for a small room and a very tight budget, anyone have any experience with them (at least with the sub cable), i know by any means it will be better than what i have now, three cheaprca cables spliced with male to male adapters,
i cant afford to pay the 50 euro that the local store wants for what appears to be a decent one,

    They don't look that cheap, what about monoprice cables? Might be better if you have amazon prime and the one you want it eligible.

    Monoprice HDMI cables are good, but I've never had a problem with Amphenol HDMI cables.

    Bluejeans cables are a good starter value.

    H9: If you don't trust what you are hearing, then maybe you need to be less invested in a hobby which all the pleasure comes from listening to music.
