Editorial Reviews

From the Manufacturer
When you spend the time and money to put together an HDTV system, you want to get the maximum performance out of the audio and video components in your system. To accomplish this your cable connections must measure up to these components. All signals travel through cables and nothing can take down the performance of your system like a cable that impedes the signal.

WireLogic provides an easy-to-use complete kit for hooking up your system with superior quality cables. There's no need to search all over, making 5 individual purchases, to get the different cable components you need. The cable lengths, 2 m., (or 6.5 ft)., are suitable for tabletop or entertainment center placement of your HDTV. Complete step-by-step instructions are included for easy installation. You will not find a higher quality set of cables for HDTV systems.

Understanding distortion: every component in your system "tints" the signal a bit,
so you need components that "tint" the signal as little as possible


Can cables affect HDTV system performance?

All cables affect HDTV system performance to some extent. Anytime electronic signal passes from one point to another through any medium there will be signal loss and the introduction of distortion. The trick is to minimize the deleterious effects. WireLogic has the solution. With nearly three decades of audiophile experience behind our team, users of the WireLogic HDTV Home Theater Cable Kit can expect the "best performance" connection between thier audio and video components. The difference is remarkable. Here is why...

Cable Quality, Signal Distortion, and Damage Control

All companies like to describe how a good component improves the performance of an HDTV system. It is a perfectly legitimate comment. Unfortunately, buried in this statement is often the misunderstanding that the better component actually improved the signal in some way. The substitution of a superior component improves a system only because it causes less damage.

Cables, like all components, should be chosen because they do the least damage. This "damage" comes in two basic forms: a relatively benign loss of information or a change to the character. A visual analogy might illustrate this distinction: consider "perfect" as a totally clear pane of glass. Since no component is perfect, the best we can strive for would be analogous to a pane of glass with a light gray tint. Lower quality components would have a darker gray tint. These various densities of gray tint would represent various amounts of lost information.

The logic of a good system is very simple: Every component matters. The electronics, the speakers, the cables, even every solder joint, all cause damage. Each component is like one of the dirty panes of glass in this illustration. Each one blocks a bit of the view. The quality of the final performance, or the clarity of the view, is the original signal minus the damage done by all the pieces in-between. Improving any one of the components will improve the performance. Cleaning any one of the glass panes will allow a clearer view.


Quality cables capable of 8-bit color and above yield a wider color space


Why are WireLogic cables better than other cables?

Better metal: WireLogic uses long grain copper and silver-plated copper conductors with a solid core construction. These metals, along with solid core construction, provide cleaner sound and a clearer picture. Other coppers have more impurities, so there is not a smooth road for signals to travel over efficiently. Stranded cables (without a solid core) are a major cause of distortion as current and signals travel back and forth, criss-crossing magnetic fields in twisted strands.

Better geometry: WireLogic uses advanced cable geometry, or how the individual conductors are wrapped together, to increase clarity and reduce sonic and visual "confusion". Without proper geometry, the magnetic interaction of the conductors can cause filtering and phase shift, particularly at higher frequencies. That degrades your sound.

Better insulation: Superior insulation materials reduce phase shift distortion. In WireLogic video and digital coax cables insulation materials are used that have uniform electrical values but have the mechanical stability to ensure a fixed and unvarying internal construction. This consistency across the cable helps to further reduce signal distortion.

Better Connections: WireLogic uses cold weld connections, not solder. Solder is never a good conductor--not even "silver solder". Welding makes the best connections. Cold welding or "crimping" creates a secure connection with minimal distortion.

The Cheaper the better3
You really don't need this kit. You can simply go to wal-mart and purchase some cheap version of whatever cables you really do need. Copper is copper. The only real reason to pay more is so the cables don't tangle.

Best kit you can get for your money..5
I've had this kit for 6 months and still very impressed. For this price you get a lot more decent quality wires than you pay for.

Not Worth The Time1
I bought these with the idea the Monster cables I purchased are over priced. I plugged the HDMI cable into my TV and cable box. I had no signal at all. I happened to wiggle the cable end going to my cable box and got a picture, the minute I stopped the signal went away. Needless to say I installed the over priced Monster cable back in and it works. I am returning this product for a refund. I wasn't impressed!
