It's the $250 HDMI cable (http://www.audioconnect.com/html/hdmi-3_hdmi_cable.html) that takes the prize IMHO - analog is voodoo to most people and they can be bamboozled by talk of SWR's etc- but digital is just digital - it works or it doesn't. I'd be willing to bet that this $250 cable is no better than the $19.95 one hooked to my Apple TV (neat toy BTW).
Then again most people are happy with a cheap timex and a clock radio - I have three independent GPS clocks and two WWV clocks so maybe I shouldn't be too quick to comment.
