Does anyone know if expensive HDMI cables are any better? I was
looking at a hundred-buck DVD player in Hardly Normal and the bloke
offered to throw in a cable at a knock-down $99. Well-trained in
gouging if nothing else.
Having said that, the 5 buck ebay one doesn't make a brilliant
picture, but I don't know if that's the cable's fault...
Breakfast in Gooseberry hill great idea in principle - not TOO early,
though...

Hi, actually Daniel has a few on order, so I will get it for $10
through him.
But it's an interesting story. And we do need to know products when
we go shopping for electrical stuff, I think I almost annoy people
when I've done my homework and don't need them to tell me what a
device can do!
Cheers, Susan

Cable prices can be quite bogas really.
A year or so back I wanted an RCA-style digital coax cable, so I went
into Retravision determined to pay whatever they wanted and the
young'n there said 'nah you don't need that, Audio RCA works for me
at
home' I asked if he knew they were wired differently, he just
shrugged
and left me to it.
On my third man-look I saw it; bottom rack, hidden by better stocked
items above (probably HDMI;-), covered in dust: Belkin 2m digital
coax.
The price sticker said $299. Wow.
Then I noticed a newer sticker, they were having a sale, $29.
After the bloke at the counter suggested his boss might have a
mushroom habit, money cheerfully changed hands.
Once home I hit google, I could not find this item anywhere in
Australia for less than $150. Score.
My hope is that you have similar luck buying the latest cable to drop
off the 'I must have one of those' list.
Happy Hunting
Paul
