Bargain of the Century - AudioQuest - Diamond 2' High-Speed HDMI Cable - Only $934.99
(Sarcastic) Review:
This HDMI cable is beyond words. I have a 27" 720p Westinghouse, but with this cable I get the visual clarity of a 65" 1080p Bravia. I'm pretty sure the cable bumped up my refresh rate to 240hz because my TV now looks more real than real life. For a couple hundred bucks more I could have gotten the 65.6' cable from AudioQuest, but that's a joke compared to this beauty of a 2 footer. Who needs more than 2 feet anyways? It's not like anyone keeps their PS3/BluRay player that far fom their TV. Immediately upon it's arrival, I watched "Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2," my favorite movie ever, and nearly fell off my couch with the astonishing detail of the babies faces. The black levels on this are so intense they suck all the light in my house into themselves, and the whites and colors are so vivid that I can't handle watching my TV for more than 16 hours lest my eyes burn away. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/AudioQue...6#BVRRWidgetID It's the first review on the site, lolz.

How much loss do you think occurs in a normal cable?

It depends on the resistance of the conductor, obviously, as well as the length of the cable. I've heard about 0.5 dB per foot.
