I bet there's probably a couple of microns width of gold plating.

And you're right, I found using gold plated cables got my resolution up from 640x480 to 1920x1080 which was most impressive on my Sony 14" crt with an HDMI to Belling Lee adaptor.

To assist some forums members, I should point out some or all of the above it likely to be completely untrue.”

I assume that you ensured the Belling Lee adaptor had soldered plugs and was properly shielded (for Winston1's benefit).

LOL good point, I needed a longer cable, so I bought the first one for the length. I liked it so much that when I changed my AV unit I bought another 3 to match the first one, purely aesthetics, I know their performance is no better than say Amazon Basics, but they're literally a couple of quid more, I think the 2m one is £5.95 and the 3m was £7.99 or something like that.
