Silly question perhaps, but has anyone tried and notice an *improvement* in picture quality, after upgrading from say, the HDMI cable that comes with the gear to an Audioquest or Monoprice?

thanks.
I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    nope none really, However I did upgrade my HDMI cable (forgot the A1 came with it) and spend 110.00 bucks for it. Not sure if it makes a difference but it sure if of excellent quality

    It's all a digital signal, as long as it works it just as good as the expensive one. I bought expensive HDMI cables from BetterCables.com, no difference in PQ whatsoever than the ones I used out the box. Monoprice cables are real nice quality with a nice price. For longer runs get the Monoprice, you won't be disapointed!

    I think it's important to get a well shielded cable.

    I've got a 1.5 or 2 meter(have to look to see actual length) AQ HDMI cable that I'm not using. Let me know if you are interested.
    Tschüss
