    Just to round my thread off, the Redmere ones I recommended have even noticeably beaten in both video and audio by these.

    I have just fitted this one:
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/27Gbps-High...39&sr=8-3&th=1
    Its so much better than other cables I have tried that its become a bit disconcerting seeing the wrinkles in faces!
    Think I might buy another.

    Late to the party as usual, I've just taken delivery of a Monoprice 3' Ultra Slim (Xbox / BDP to Oppo) and a 25' Cabernet (Oppo / BDP to projector). A modest but perceptible improvement over the passive Audioquest Pearls I've been using for the past 6+ years. I'm not blown away by the improvement Redmere yields, but I am impressed by the price differential and how well the ageing Pearls fared. Maybe my expectations were too high, maybe they need a little burn in time to reach their best? Either way it's an improvement and the Pearl's second hand value is pretty much double what the Monoprice cables cost so their staying and the Pearls will be looking for a new home on eBay.

    Yup.
    Same cable Darren.

    Still using them and no desire to change.
