That is not true of HDMI. As the revisions progress, so does the required bandwidth on the cable.

I have that identical cable from another manufacturer -- they are all generics. It works very well and I use it regularly. Although I think I paid $29 for it.

Yes, yes. But my cable boasts, quote, an "incredible 70mm bend radius". They might all be made out of the same generic materials though, but only the manufacturers know for sure and I don't expect an honest answer if they are all the same.

I purchased these SonicWave .5m and 3m cables from Parts Express and I am very impressed. I have over 4 different brands (from cheap plastic to Monster) and I "truly" heard a difference with these. To put it in words, they just sounded closest to my Canare/BlueJeans coax S/PDIF. Very flexible.

I've used BJC optical cables in my HT. Never had a problem and their customer service is excellent.
