    I got my HDMI cable from Monoprice and it works great. For runs under 15' get the 28ga. for run over 15' get the 24ga. The 22 ga. is a pain to work with as the ends are not secure enough to support the cable. (i.e. - 22ga falls out alot just due to the weight of the cable)

    Not saying all digital cables are the same - but I feel digital are alot less obvious in their differences than an analog cable is. (btw - if you need any optical cables, the Monoprice opticals are top notch as well.)
    Mains.............Polk LSi15 (Cherry)
    Center............Polk LSiC (Crossover upgraded)
    Surrounds.......Polk LSi7 (Gloss Black - wood sides removed and crossovers upgraded)
    Subwoofers.....SVS 25-31 CS+ and PC+ (both 20hz tune)
    Pre\Pro...........NAD T163 (Modded with LM4562 opamps)
    Amplifier.........Cinepro 3k6 (6-channel, 500wpc@4ohms)

    If you want to carry DTS HD Audio or Dolby HD signals via HDMI you need to have at least HDMI 1.3a cable. If you only need it for high def picture and regular dts or dolby sound any HDMI cable will work.
