    The only legit reason an HDMI cable should cost $1000 would be that it's long enough to connect your device to a TV in another state.

      The problem with that is that it's a digital signal. So yes, while the cable might stand up to noisy environments better, that's a tangible benefit. It works, or it doesn't.

  • @movebpesp
    @movebpesp 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    It is a waveguide. As such it doesn't matter much what the conductor does, but how the medium where the EM waves travels behave (ie the *plastic* dielectric between the conductors and the geometry of the conductors). Also it's quite important that the impedance of the cable waveguide exactly matches the impedances of the connectors so you get no reflections. Having better conductivity only helps with resistive losses, allowing for longer lengths.

      @creationsmaxo 6 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      There's actually a difference between a 5 buck HDMI cable and a 25 bucks HDMI cable, but it mostly comes down to the voltage of the device. For example, the XBox One X and PS4 Pro could potentially have refreshing rate issues with a low-end HDMI cable if used with a 4K TV or a 3D 1080p TV. That's because the 4K and 3D 1080p TV requires a higher voltage and the low-end HDMI cables might have the signal fluctuate enough to affect the display.
      Possible effect of a low-end HDMI cable could be:
      • Discoloration and darker colors.
      (You can use the settings on the TV to boost the color, but this will reduce the durability of the screen's pixels.)
      • Drop in the refresh rate.
      • Damage to the HDMI cable.
      The thing is that the market and manufacturers' products evolve so what I explained might not affect everyone who buy a low-end HDMI cable. It's a bit like the difference between an Ethernet cable 3.0, 4.0, 5.0e, etc. Relatively same principle, slightly different technology and huge difference when it counts.

    • @Trottelheimer
      @Trottelheimer 6 ปีที่แล้ว +97

    Honestly everything they've done, from using purer copper, silver and gold plate, to using a twisted wire layout does improve the signal conductivity of the cable. However given the fact that this is still a digital cable, it will give absolutely 0 benefit.
    In an analogue cable though these techniques do legitimately improve performance, though that may only be noticeable by instruments and not by personal observation.

      @evilbred974 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Would it be a huge benefit, probably not. Could conductive purity have a noticeable benefit? It could. I mean, if money is no object then yes, but the vast majority of music studios are run like businesses and there's much better places to invest equipment money than on such cables.

    • @ESPmrBrough

      Evil bred top end studios usually spend £100+ each on cables. cabling degrades the signal, and it all adds up. so in long signal chains, high end cables make all the difference. sony and other big companies could easily afford to make and implement something like this.

      Evil bred that's totally irrelevant.
      all professional studios use high quality cables. if a certain level of studio can benefit from the technology and use of materials demonstrated here, that alone is enough reason for it to exist.
      bear in mind that if a reputable sound company made analog cables using the same materials and similar internal structure, it would be much cheaper and would get rid of unnecessary things like the carbon fiber.

    I just realized that the double helix strand inside of it if anything, only makes the wire needed to be at least double the length of the final length of the cable. Which would reduce the signal integrity. Good job Wireworld, good job.

    Many expensive audio cables are worse than cheaper ones because they have higher capacitance. Edit: This cable uses the same dual conductor design that causes it. Higher capacitance, but increased immunity to rf, which isn't a problem in digital signal cables.
