Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Digital is digital. So long as the bits and bytes get to where they're going, there is zero difference between a $3 cable and a $3,000 cable. On a cable run this short, there's no non-deliberate way to induce enough RF interference to cause the cable not to work. And if, somehow you WERE, simply buy a $5 shielded cable, instead of a $3 unshielded cable. And, on that note, with a bit of further investigation, this $3000 cable isn't even shielded twisted-pair. It's unshielded twisted pair. So if you ARE going to pull RF interference, this cable won't help you worth a damn. Shielded twisted pair is a slightly thicker, more rigid cable with a, for lack of a better common term, "foil" lining around either the entire twisted cable bundle, and/or in other cases, around each twisted pair. You can do a Google image search for "shielded twisted pair" or "STP vs UTP" to see what it looks like. Anyone telling you they "can hear a difference" between this cable and a $3 cable is either trying to sell you something at a ludicrous markup, or they're suffering from audiophile snobbery bias.
