The Monoprice $8 cable and the Wireworld were both the same length of 6 feet. Sorry, length is not a factor here. The Wireworld was very much superior using both the cable box and Blu-ray player.

It would be nice to think that: (1) there is no difference between cables, (2) there is especially no difference between digital cables, (3) there is great value to be found in the giant killer Monoprice so that one doesn't have to spend more, or (4) the difference is attributable to some other factor so that, all things being equal, the Monoprice is in fact equal to the Wireworld.

My opinion: (1)WRONG (2)WRONG (3)WRONG AND (4)WRONG

Question: Why should there be less of a difference with an HDMI (digital) cable than with any other digital cable, where, it is widely accepted, there are signficant differences? (It ain't just a case of 0's and 1's always being identical no matter what).

I have found there to just as much diffences between digital cables (non HDMI interconnects and HDMI) as between analog cables.
