A HDMI cable costing more than $30 is already a scam. Unless it's an active fibre optic cable for long runs of 10 meters plus. The biggest fake and scam of all is the genuine Audioquest cable costing $100s and $1000s that do nothing.
Could you sacrifice one of the fakes to slice open so we can see cross section of the cable . It would be interesting to see what they use for sheilding if anything at all .
I could, but I dont think theres a need for that: if youll look at my other AQ fake cable reviews (speaker, power cables) youll see that these are basically 1:1 clones, or some kind of "night shift" work. I'm pretty sure these HDMIs are leaving exactly the same place thats the source for speaker and power cables....
@@k4syx bloody hell I didn't know it was to that level . That is crazy how they could be potentially made to similar standards /tolerances. Interesting.
@@JonnyParker- it's absolutely craziness to the point of direction and bass/treble marks on internal layers of insulation that nobody ever sees. There's something fishy going on, why would you fake something with that level of detail (and that requires tooling!) for such a miniscule market? I don't get that.
@@roberthart9886 yes looks, because when you're buying used or over the web you cannot hear them until you get them and that may be too late. So looks: better safe than sorry!
Great video ! I just bought an fake Vodka HDMI cable. I do also have original Cinnamon and Chocolate HDMI cables, using with Apple TV's with Meridian equipment (HD621). What is your opinion on a vodka HDMI like in your video, against original Cinnamon or Chocolate HDMI ? Would the fake one really be beter ? Are you making a video someday, opening a cable ? Like you did in your other fake AQ cable video's ?
@@k4syx That's why a modern war is so complex and divers. It doesn't start with a tank passing borders anymore. Far more fluid and just trying to harm/ blackmaling etc and no less aggressive. 😞
