Hi Road Warrior,

This is exactly the type of information I was hoping to receive. I had researched the archives a bit and came upon the Monoprice name for the 1st time.

Looking at reviews on CNET I found that all the editors use Monoprice at work and at home so that is the official recommendation from CNET too.

So I have seen quite a few recommendations all positive.

I have ordered a 24 gauge 6ft. Silver plated High Speed HDMI cable from Monoprice to try. Price was only $9.67.

The connection will be from my FIOS DVR to the TV so for flexibility issues it will only have to enter my AV stand from my TV and connect to the DVR. Probably not going to be a problem. Thanks for the heads up on this possible issue though.

Would be nice to find a good a really good brand of cable I like as I will be adding a Blu-Ray player soon and will then need a good cable for that too.

I have returned the Audioquest Carbon as it was not a cost effective improvement to what I was using.

Thank you
JimF
