    Question about HDMI cables/switch for my home theater

    My room is 12'x13' so I don't think I need the cables to be longer than 10'... should I just go with the cheapest ones then (i think that's the 28AWG)? Also do you have a recommendation for the HDMI switch box thing? Also do I want the Ferrite cores and/or the net jackets? Thanks in advance :D

    Question about HDMI cables/switch for my home theater

    Hey guys, I was looking to do a few things with some cables from monoprice.com (I was recommended to that site as a much better alternative to buying monster cable), but I don't know what to buy, please advise: 1.

    Just got the Logitech z5500.. what output cables to use?

    Ohhh okay thanks yoyo! So then what I have is fine then? What about for DVD's will the analog still be optimal? *goes to read in periphreals*

    Lol that reminds me of a review I read where someone pissed off his deaf neighbor with his system. She couldn't hear it... but it shook all the pictures off of her wall ROFL XD Also anyone have ideas on where I should be getting my cables?

    Hi all, I just got the awesome Logitech z-5500 5.1 speaker system and have it all set up to go with my new rig (using an Audigy 2 ZS for the sound card). I'm a bit of an audio-newbie, and I know that the system doesn't come with coaxial or optical cables... which leads me to the question of...
