In the interest of fair reporting and fair play, the 5% Silver content for Audioquest Carbon HDMI cables is for connectors only. The conductors are silver coated copper, the idea, according to Audioquest, being that most of the signal travels near the surface, so the conductors behave much like solid silver conductors. Another important distinction between Carbon HDMI cables (and other Audioquest high end HDMI cables) and other brands of high end HDMI cables is that they are controlled for directionality.
Audioquest Carbon HDMI cable
Hi all,
I'm thinking about purchasing the AQ Carbon hdmi cable(3m). It will be hooked up with the signal going out from my pre/pros hdmi monitor output to my 52 LCD monitor hdmi input. What would be the advantage of hooking it up this way? Higher quality video? Would I be better off to purchase a lower quality cable from AQ for this purpose?
Would I be better off to buy a Carbon and install it between my Oppo blu ray player and pre/pro to take advantage of the sound as well and just leave the hdmi cable going to my LCD monitor hooked up? I want to stick with AQ as I like their products. Any advice or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
