Ordered something off Ebay and got a catalogue with it with all sorts of different cables for audio and video and power etc, many of them with absolutely staggering prices.
Amongst the amusing and slightly shocking highlights you could pay £155 per metre for high end audio cable, at least this was analogue, how much better could it REALLY get, how inferior and inadequate does it make us feel about our inferior standard cables that are according to them absolutely crying out to replaced with high end gear that really does the job, not like our cheap end, barely existent crap that we use now. The catalogue was even attempting to make me feel inadequate about my power cables, if only they were cleaner, more direct power, I'd get better sound out of my sound system and a better picture on my TV, you might have a 1080p HD TV but unless you are using a £65 HDMI cable you won't actually have a proper picture!
Wooahhh, wait there, back the bus up!!!, BETTER HDMI CABLE!
This thing handles digital signals! It either gets there or it doesn't, it's all or nothing it's as simple as that, the only possible thing it could over a bog standard £2 one from Asda is to lessen the possibility of interference! But I never experience that ever, on my cheap of chips absolute bog roll standard HDMI cable, I get a perfect TV picture from my Sky+HD, PS3 and FTA Sat box, if the signal somehow managed to arrive over a piece of coil wire suspended around some old string it would be the exact same picture received, so why do they think they are able to improve it in any way?
Analogue is different, it can be interfered with, weakened, improved with shielding etc, but not HDMI surely or am I missing something?
Perhaps if they can persuade Wayne Rooney that his picture is crap and that he hasn't got enough pure power off the mains they can get themselves wealthy.
