Looking for a Short High Quality HDMI Cable

I prefer the old JBL 4333's which are studio monitors or the home theater equivalent JBL L-300 if you can find them  
Encouraging people to consider a traditional 2 channel stereo system.
I've always had a good 2 channel system at 79 in the old days 2 channel's all there was. Now my system will blow your socks off even if you're not wearing any. Music recording and concerts are always 2 channel. Also have a 9 channel Dolby Atmos su...

This thread is quite entertaining , had me LOL. And I thought I was the only one who didn't like springsteen. Never did , don't like his voice , music , sound nor lyrics. And that was before he started barking about politics.
