Digital is digital. If the source material suffers excessive compression, not a thing a cable can do to improve it. The financial system of the entire world runs over inexpensive Cat5 (at some point, fiber-optic at others) and does just fine. Your don't lose pennies in your bank account or 401K every now and then due to losses in transmission do you?

Exotic cabling is the snake oil of the industry. Fancy wire for speakers, exotic power cables for amps (lets forget about the romax that brings it from your home service to the wall plug), magical interconnects are all just hype. Decent wire, solid connectors, securely constructed is all you need.

I can't agree. Sure, there is clear limit to how good a cable can be, but the quality of the materials used and the engineering do make a difference. Some manufacturers build things that work, while others build thing that work well.





which bit of the cable contains the tiny computer that is reprogramming the digital signal?

I materials itself. Thin and cheap will not provide as strong a signal as think and quality. You cannot deny that HDMI or not, there are cheaply made (and performing) cable and high quality cables made with the best materials and engineering. You just compare you cheap Chinese electronics to the real deal.
