I always figured the difference would only be noticeable with sensitive test equipment.

I got my 'gold-plated' 6' HDMI cable from a Harbor Freight store, I think it cost $8.

here in the UK we have several chains of 'pound shops' where everything costs £1 (pretty much $1.60)
that's where I buy all my cables, HDMI, Ethernet, SCART, satellite and TV aerial cables, USB, and so on. over the 10 years I've shopped there i never had a single cable failure.

Each is £1, not the £5 for supermarket economy brands, not the £15 in regular electronic stores, and not the £50 for a premium brand.
in fact at these prices I could buy a bunch at £1 and mail them to you guys in the States and almost do it cheaper than the $8 you pay!
