Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater HDMI cable length and video balun experience?

I just did my BJC order. Within 20 minutes of ordering, I got the email that it shipped. THAT is service.

30 minutes later...

"UPS, sir....I have a delivery......"

Sorry for a late reply.
All the speaker wire in my house is a mix of 12 gauge Home Depot bulk cable (cheap for local but soooo stiff and awkward to work with that you actually have to wear gloves or risk cutting yourself and it's hard to run) and Monoprice cable.

The Monoprice ended up being cheaper per foot, even after getting it to Canada. It was wonderful to work with and even had an outer sheathing. All for cheaper than the Home Depot, fingerbleeder wire..

Well it seems I'm late to this party as you've already ordered and it's already shipped. However I will say that I have no problems what-so-ever dropping 10 bucks on a 6 foot HDMI cable and sleeping like a baby. I don't personally think there are any differences in short run HDMI cables, so why spend more on them? However, for longer runs, and expecially for permanent installs like the one you're doing, I would probably have opted to spend the extra cash for piece of mind if nothing else. I probably would loose a lot of sleep once I came to the point of no return and they bolted up the ceiling and my decision was then unchangeable. For this reason I would spend the cash to make sure it's right.

But that's just me.
