A/V tech questions and awnsers

in reponse to the HDMI cable question....with a digital signal you either get it or you dont and having a fatter cable and 24k gold connectors wont improve the signal unlike an analog signal.Unless yo have a true 1080p source you wont be able to tell the difference between component cables and an HDMI, such as HD reception you get from satellite it is broadcast @ 1080i. right now your only option for 1080p is a Blueray disc and from what I have heard 1080p will be skipped over as the next step in broadcasting to 1440i

You are correct regarding the video. Howver, there is a difference in audio codec processing. Most higher end systems will only pass uncompressed PCM over HDMI now, thus it is your only option for high end audio.

I've referenced this site before, http://www.avsforum.com, but it is fairly equivelent to this site in the knowledge level. There are some folks who have waaay too much money and time on their hands.

the audio with HD programming gets very irratating to me< I dont know if its related to the uncompressed PCM but it seems to be all over the board as far as what channel you mat be watching
