My entire 4K set up is with cinnamon braided Audio Quest cables.

Cables do matter. I always used Monster years ago but I like the Audioquest.

Great video man!!! Question how do directionality arrows go?

[aarontesfai]

I just bought cinnamon HDMI cables. Dumb question....Do I place the HDMI cable with the arrow pointing towards the tv or the arrow away from the tv?

[fmspec]

these cables have arrow directions what part goes to tv and what part goes to eARC audio port

What up Raf man. It's been a little since I commented on your videos. I have all cinnamon cables for my setup. I did upgrade to the new cinnamon 8k-10k cables. There's a little bit of a difference picture and audio wise. I have Martin Logan speakers and I use 8awg speaker wire with pure silver banana plugs, and them bad boys were EXPENSIVE, I paid like almost 100 dollars for just 4 of them. I had to buy a few packs. Those pure silver banana plugs gave me the audio difference I was looking for. I finally upgraded to a Sony 60 inch OLED TV last year.

I hate when people say that all the hdmi cables are the same. I Totally agreed with you, when you have good equipment you gotta have a good source conection aswell 👍

Please make a video showing the picture quality difference you see between a cheap cable and this expensive cables. I’ll love to see that. Feel free to do an A/B blind test with anyone you think will see this difference.
Stipulation: both cables must support the specified transfer rate of the HDMI version you are using. I.e. if you are using HDMI 2.1 - 48Gbits/s, HDMI 2.0 - 18Gbits/s, HDMI 1.4 - 10.2Gbits/s.
Of all the videos I have watched, none have shown what bad picture quality looks like on a WORKING cheap HDMI cable that meets the HDMI spec it’s being used on.

FYI: I have a dynex cable from Best Buy that was bought for under $30 when HDMI 1.3 was the latest spec and this cable passes HDR from my PS4 HDMI 1.4 port to my LG OLED TV (HDMI 2.0 ports). Cheap cables are not supposed to do that...right? I should see picture quality degeneration on my OLED TV...right? I mean, do you even know what the source content is supposed to look like? Do you have a reference monitor to show what information is missing or degraded?

[hollywoodsaint]

your thoughts are appreciated and what im feeling as well. I also have the cinnamon 🤣🤣🤣

I’m connecting a 4K blue-ray dvd to my tv, which way should Arrow point from tv to dvd ?

[ccarroll]

This is interesting. Thanks for the video

Hey I just bought a AQ sky 1.0% silver cable to run from my Bose lifestyle to the Samsung qled vía ARC. I have an old AQ forest 0.5% silver which is running from my Apple TV/xbox one x to the lifestyle. I have the opportunity to get a cinnamon (1.25%) short like 1M for 39.99 or a Carbon (5%) 2M for 120.00. Also, my question is does video quality cap out with the silver somewhere where in audio that cap is much higher? Right now I have the higher rated silver cable going to the TV ARC and the lower interconnecting to the receiver.

Had a question i just purchased the audioquest pearl 48. Do the arrows point towards the tv or from the tv to the sound bar? As im using the arc port

[Charlie_Rock]

Man! Great video. Just bought the cherry cola HDMI Fiber for my 4K projector and WOW what a difference!

[TheRealFlying]

I might be due for a really great upgrade replacement of a old HDMI cable and don't want to spend a lot of money so I on;y have to go about 6ft as I have a Entertainment Center...what would be the difference from the Black Pearl Audioquest to the next one up or even to the Cinnamon? Could I still get a great picture from the Black Pearl rather than spending more money? Also, could I get away with Monster Cable for a great picture being and would that be better picture as it's only about 6ft?

[Mazdatechsenior]

So if I have a sound bar, the arrows go into the sound bar away from the tv. Or other way around. I’m really confuse

[willmo]

Wich cable of the audioquest brand is thé best? I bought the cinnamon but is it the best ?

[petermcnamara]

Hey Raf what is your opinion on the new Audioquest Ocean 8K-10K 48 GBPS cord Best Buy is offering? I’m purchasing the LG GX 65 inch in the next week or so and want to use cables that aren’t off of Amazon. I have had great experiences with the iBirdie cable on Amazon, but I want to use something better for my new OLED. It’s my first time purchasing an OLED. I currently have the Sony 930D 4K HDR and the Amazon cables worked great. I am torn between the Ocean and Cinnamon. Also the max footage I’m using is 10 Ft. I will be hooking up an Apple TV 4K, PS4 Pro (until I purchase the PS5, Xbox One X (Until I purchase the Xbox series X, and the Bose Acoustimass 300 sound system. I would greatly appreciate your info if you have a chance.

Another good vid, its all about quality, I use two cables for video, one is WyreStorm CAB-HAOC-10 Active Optical HDMI cable from Oppo, 1m AudioQuest Cinnamon HDMI for the audio. From Panasonic DP-UB9000 4k, I use Monster® Premium 4K Ultra HD HDMI Black Platinum Ultimate 27Gbps 35ft 10m, AudioQuest Carbon HDMI 0.6m for the audio. All are connecting to my sony 500es 4k. I spent a lot of time researching HDMI cables, had many let me down, its the bandwidth needed, the cables Im using are great, very pleased with the results.
