HDMI cable

HDMI cable pricing

Monday, August 17th, 2009
EDN blog articlwe HDMI cables for $2 or $600? mentions article Why are HDMI cables so expensive?.
 In this article product researchers find little difference between a $10 and a $140 HDMI cable. The result was that the expensive cables may be made with better materials, but they dont perform digital transmission any better than the cheap cables.
At least when talking about a short cable of few feet then I don’t see any reason to pay very much for it. If your local store does not sell reasonably priced HDMI cables, then go to some other store or order on-line. Some shops seem to charge absolutely ridiculous prices for HDMI cables knowing full well that they are taking advantage of people who dont know any better.
Another thing worth to read at HDMI cables for $2 or $600? is a story on very expensive “audiophile” cables that were sold with “story” that adding DC bias to audio cable helped sound. The dc bias to the cable was added using a 9-volt battery. It of course was adjustable ($0.05 pot) so that the lunatic fringe audiophile community could have an infinite level of adjustment and an associate infinite collective of opinions as to what was the perfect setting – pure marketing genius.
Good story and “market factors” seem to sell cheap products at high price.
