Gun Counter ignorance is not just in the gun store. Name some other examples.

Granted there is a difference between a higher end HDMI cable and the basic Wal-mart brand, but it's really not huge at all... It's not like the difference between a $200 1911 and a Nighthawk Custom.

Please explain the difference. Only conceivable difference I can think of is EM shielding between the strands, but everybody does that nowadays... even the $3 cable from monoprice.

F' the monster cable snobs!

...those clowns pushing $300 HDMI cables as somehow better than a standard HDMI. The cable either works or it doesn't.

From what I've read- between the XBox issued HDMI versus the braided cased Monster Cable that I somehow "acquired" (I don't buy that overpriced stuff) the only difference is durability, but even that is negligible.

But the Monster cable is so pretty, and you're going to need that durability when you bug out with the Xbox!

I actually read a reputable study once where Monster speaker wire was compared with electrical wire (think wiring a table lamp) and the electrical wire came out on top in all categories.

The one I love is the little display board in the Home Depot showing how all the electrical in your house should be done. Saw a guy taking pictures of it one day. Good luck with that.

One word "MicroCenter"... But they are way better than in California where the word is "Fry's".

My biggest gripe is listening to hound!!! blahahahahahaha macs suck!

SATA 10k rpm drives vs SSD.
IBM vs SUN
HP vs Dell
Ford vs chevy
Dodge vs everything else (for a farm truck)

And the worst one i've ever had to witness was International vs Case vs John Deere when all 3 reps where at my uncles farm right before harvest.

HDMI cables are "digital". Traffic is protocol driven and there would not be shit for difference in either other than materials and quality control.

Speaker cable on the other hand in a big F'n difference. There is a reason some speaker wires cost $100 per foot. You can hear the difference if you are an audiophile and have the gear...

Back to the gun thing...listening to the Bass Pro GC guy say an XD is superior to everything else because it has a grip safety. WTF? Then my buddy buys an XD and hates it...wants me to sell it so he can get a glock...I wonder why?
