after all both of them do same functions.. so, why some using high-end cables? what kind of semiconductor is that anyway?

Answer 1

Because you need high end cables for high end gear. Those who bash performance cables don't understand that even a small improvement is worth a lot to the TRUE audio/videophile.

I will recommend what I always do, look to spend about 10% in cables, auditioning each one in your system, if you don't see/hear a diference or think that it is not enough for the cost, don't use them.

Short answer: buy component cables from BlueJeans. It is HD rated coax and a good set will run you about $50.

Coax is NOT all the same.

"Component Cables" only have to be compatible with the 1940's interlace video signals. These signals go up to 4 Mhz.

However: Progressive video goes up to 13 Mhz and 720/1080 HD video goes up to 35 Mhz. So the Radio Shack 'Component' cables are likely NOT proper for anything but standard def video.

HERE IS THE BIG SECRET:

Coax for HD video is only pennies more than coax for standard def. The last time I bought the good stuff, it was around $1.35/ft. This stuff normally comes on a 300 ft roll, but I found a place that would cut it for me.

But companies know there is a PERCEPTION that HD video needs better cables, so they charge more for these.

BlueJeans uses the same coax & connectors that the professionals use. (We are talking TV studios, DVD production houses).

Hope this helps.
