A quick update here on my cables: I just received the speaker cable for the surrounds, center, HDMI cable and subwoofer cable (I know I know this is probably not necessary, but I just wanted to be sure about the convenience and hum/shield issues) from
BlueJeans Cable all for about USD 100. An HDMI cable alone purchased at local BestBuy would cost that much. Great looking cables, with a great price. Also the customer service was excellent. They answered all my emails in a timely manner, even in Sunday, shipped them Priority the next day I placed my order. I would highly recommend this company to everyone.
