Folks often wonder if the cable length between the main front channels need to be identical. They are often misinformed by exotic cable vendors or cable forum cult hobbyists that cable lengths need to be kept identical to avoid amplitude or phase/time delay differences between the two. They even go so far as to claim transmission line effects can be seen at audio frequencies. This article and related YouTube videos serves to demystify the nonsense surrounding this topic.Fri, 22 Jul 2016 05:00:00 -0000 https://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/speaker-cable-length-differences-do-they-matterAudio Video Cableshttps://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/speaker-wire-gaugeAudiophiles are often seduced by exotic speaker cable brands that tout fancy materials over quality low gauge, low resistance wire.

We've answered this in a number of highly technical articles, but this time around we wanted to answer it in more practical terms. What makes one cable different than another? What are some examples of good HDMI cables on the market? And how can I tell if a cable isn't working properly? Click through for the answers all these questions.Mon, 23 Dec 2013 21:15:00 -0000 https://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/truth-about-expensive-hdmi-cablesAudio Video Cableshttps://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/bjc-cat-network-cable-quality-interviewAfter reading Blue Jeans Cable's article showing that 80% of the Cat6/5e network cables on the market fail to meet spec, we decided to reach out to them for a followup interview. While we have covered the difference between HDMI and speaker cables to death, we have never really thought about or written anything about network cables. However, network cabling is now an integral part of any modern AV system, but there is a lot more to it than most people think. Read on to see what one of the most reputable cable manufacturers has to say on the topic.Wed, 28 Aug 2013 11:00:00 -0000 https://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/bjc-cat-network-cable-quality-interviewAudio Video Cableshttps://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/debunking-the-myth-of-speaker-cable-resonanceSome exotic cable vendors and esoteric audio magazines claim that speaker cables exhibit electrical and/or mechanical resonance at audio frequencies and that the RLC nature of the cable drastically changes at these frequencies causing the alleged cable resonance. They often cry bloody murder and seek out solutions to fix this alleged problem to preserve the pristine audio and save their golden ears from such atrocious distortion. I believe this claim was fabricated either because of a lack of understanding of basic principles of electronics, or an attempt to initiate a false scare tactic to rationalize how an exotic cable vendor can justify slapping an RLC network on the cable and charge consumers high asking prices. Some even pervert this fallacy one step further by suggesting it is necessary to isolate your speaker cables from mechanical vibrations. Before you run out and shop for a solution to stop your cables from resonating either electrically or mechanically, it may be best to examine if this is a real or made up problem to concern yourself with.Mon, 28 Jan 2013 05:00:00 -0000 https://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/debunking-the-myth-of-speaker-cable-resonanceAudio Video Cableshttps://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/redmere-active-hdmi-mea1689There are a lot of things wrong with HDMI. For one, the technology keeps pushing the limits of what a standard non-active cable can handle - this is especially true when HDMI is used over long distances. Some manufacturers have turned to making extra-thick, well-shielded solutions that utilize 22 gauge cables. The results of that method have been tragic - cables don't bend easily and they are generally unwieldy and impractical for most uses. So what's next? Well, almost any cable will work over a 2 meter or less distance, but beyond that things start to get dicey. That's where active HDMI cables come into play. While active EQ on HDMI cables isn't new, possibly the most advanced use of it is coming out of RedMere, who has shrunken down the technology to a point that it's all but negligible.Fri, 29 Jul 2011 12:03:19 -0000 https://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/redmere-active-hdmi-mea1689Audio Video Cableshttps://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/power-cablesWe are sometimes asked our opinion of exotic power cords and cables and whether or not they are beneficial or worth the added cost over the stock power cords that come with A/V electronics. With the help of Blue Jeans Cable, we explore the importance of properly designed power cords while simultaneously debunking the myths and bogus claims perpetuated by many exotic cable manufacturers and A/V review magazines. Always remember the Audioholics.com mantra "only poorly designed cables can be sonically distinguishable" and you will never make a bad purchasing decision. Once all of the nonsensical claims are peeled away, only three very basic and essential metrics are left to ensure quality power transfer from your wall outlet to your A/V gear which we discuss in detail in this article and recently added YouTube video.

Mostly hate, since I believe HDMI should have been more focused on protocol, and less on form-factor. Regardless, one of the most frustrating aspects of HDMI is the tendency for lower gauge (thicker) cables to weight down the connector and pull out of their sockets. With the complexity of the signal coursing through an HDMI cable, even a little tension can result in signal loss, especially over longer distances. So what's a custom installer to do? Well, for starters there are several solutions that provide a locking HDMI connection for HDMI - something the format surely lacks.Fri, 04 Jun 2010 06:30:00 -0000 https://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/locking-hdmi-cables-connectorsAudio Video Cableshttps://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/hdmi-cable-speedConsidering that an HDMI cable is, at bottom, nothing more than an arrangement of wire, foil and plastic, the purchase of HDMI cable has become awfully confusing. Everywhere one turns, there are all sorts of specification version numbers being tossed around, claims about HDMI cable "speed," and representations about support for 3D, 2K by 4K video, 1080p, Deep Color, and a host of other features.

In it they had a table which went through the various iterations of HDMI, from version 1.0 through the newest 1.4. We thought it was a good chart, though we disagreed (slightly) with some of their assessments on the importance of each of the versions. As I hinted at in my article on The Twelve Biggest Industry Mistakes of the Digital Age I believe that HDMI is really more of a stop-gap interface whereas it could have been a new standard. Instead, we have a largely "stupid" new cable system that merely carries data. HDMI 1.4 does little to change this reality.Thu, 03 Sep 2009 09:20:00 -0000 https://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/hdmi-1.4-and-through-the-agesAudio Video Cableshttps://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/alternatives-for-av-home-networkingThe ongoing convergence of AV and computing is inevitable, rooted in the dawn of digital media with the advent of the CD, and nurtured by the Internet. Media servers, multimedia gaming consoles, HTPC, networked AV receivers, mp3 player docks, IPTV; digital entertainment is becoming as at home on computers as it is on traditional AV gear. However, all of this crosspollination between the two often leaves entertainment stored in disparate locations so a reliable connection is required to transfer the entertainment files between devices. For those who find the shortcomings of Wi-Fi make it less than an ideal solution, there are other methods available that are not as onerous as pulling Ethernet cable through walls and attics by making use of existing home wiring systems. These methods also provide connections that are more secure with better data throughput and reliability. There is a reason that mission critical business systems and servers are primarily hardwired and not connected by Wi-Fi.Sun, 16 Aug 2009 23:05:00 -0000 https://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/alternatives-for-av-home-networkingAudio Video Cableshttps://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/crimping-and-solderingAudio and Video Cables are not just dependent on the wire or cable used, or the connectors used. The quality of the connection between the wire or cable and connector is just as important, if not more so. The biggest problem with the audio/video cable market is that marketing departments choose fads and fallacies, non-applicable specifications and pseudo science over real world objective measurements and tried and true methods of creating wire and cable assemblies that will last for many years with high quality results.

In consumer electronics stores across the country, consumers are being told that their new 120 Hertz displays will not work properly, or will not work optimally, without a cable designed for 120 Hertz. We'll address this question two different ways, beginning with the short answer and following with the long answer/explanation.Wed, 31 Dec 2008 14:39:30 -0000 https://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/120-hertz-hdmi-cablesAudio Video Cableshttps://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/myth-vs-reality-2013-putting-cat5e-based-a-v-structured-wiring-in-its-placeSending audio, video and control signals over twisted pair cables have become common practice in the contemporary marketplace. There is a good reason for this. Twisted pair cables are cheap, ubiquitous and comfortably familiar to anyone with any level of installation exposure to data networking and telephony. UTP-based A/V installations are appealing for their perceived low cost and performance advantages. Widely accepted as a panacea that banished the need for task-specific cables to the equipment closet of history, those who universally advocate the use of balun-based infrastructure would do well to remember the words of Plutarch; “To find a fault is easy; to do better may be difficult.” Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:45:26 -0000 https://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/myth-vs-reality-2013-putting-cat5e-based-a-v-structured-wiring-in-its-placeAudio Video Cableshttps://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/wireless-hdmi-takes-flightWireless HDMI seems to be coming to a living room near you.

Then I saw that statement get repeated over and over. The problem is that HDMI isn't like a digital coax audio cable - it can degrade partially and produce sparkles and snow. We'll illustrate some of this below. It took nearly 6 months to research and prepare for this experiment. I intended to acquire as many HDMI cables as possible and focus on empirical testing of mostly longer lengths to show the differences that abound when you exceed 5 meters.
