I didn't qualify this time

I usually try (sometimes unsuccessfully) to only write reviews about things I'm pretty good at, but in this case I'm using them as overkill and a future check. I REALLY want to share my experience. I've never been able to get the HDMI to work properly on my receiver. More precisely, he worked a couple of days, and then the paint in general went away and did not give orders. The TV was convinced that the receiver was not compatible with ARC and vice versa. These were supposedly modern cables, and they worked straight from the source to the TV. When buying a replacement receiver, one manufacturer suggested someone with a similar problem try better cables. I wasn't expecting this to work, but guess what. It happened! Now I have tone and ARC control, and before I had to leave the receiver on 24/7 or it wouldn't connect. Now I can turn it off when I'm not looking. But I don't need it because it's automatic. No-load performance probably wasn't that bad, but in the end these cables only pay for themselves on my electric bill. Not to mention the cost of a new receiver. I can't comment on their 8k performance. But what I can say is that unless you're connecting directly from the source to your TV, be it a receiver, switcher, repeater or something in between . Other things? They fit into the ports with no problems and the cables and connectors seem to be fine, especially for this price. For the price you hardly get a high-quality guitar cable.

Pros
  • HDMI cable
Cons
  • Some bugs
