I have purchased a Pioneer PDP507XD plasma, a Pioneer VSX-1016V AV amp and a
DV-696AV-S DVD player.

I am planning to connect this all up by using HDMI cables. DVD - Amp -
Plasma.

My main concern is the cost of HDMI cables.

I keep hearing people mentioning how good Monster cables are but they're not
exactly on the cheap side.

A 2m HDMI cable will cost me about £70, I need two of these. A monster
SCART cable is about £50.

I also need a phono cable to connect the Sky box to the amp for audio only.

Is a Monster cable going to give me that much extra quality compared to a
cable costing £30 or £40?

If so, are there any other cable manufactures that I should be considering?




a HDMI cable carries digital info - a big stream of 1s and 0s.

therefore the signal is either going to get through, or it wont - simple as
that.
paying an inflated price for a monster HDMI cable will gain you nothing -
unless they are no building a mini pc into the cable which reprograms the
signal....

buy a bog standard HDMI lead instead.
