ConnectionLAB HCC-01 Premium 0.6m Coaxial Cable

Welcome after a short break. Here we are with another review of accessories. We were asked about good coaxial cables and we decided to start with the company we were very pleased with already - connectionlab. Again, we have ordered these at www.connectionlab.co.uk and got a nice package two days later.

We bought HCC-01 premium 0.6m coaxial cable. The company sells it also in 1m version.
First impression: the cables are solid, again. The contacts, plated with 24k gold look massive, which is good and gives the impression of good quality. Gold is supposed, to prevent it from oxidation and corrosion. This is what we like, you know that. Good, high-quality craftsmanship. The plugs itself are heavy and solid. These are copper and chrominium plated. These are just  an excellent piece of work.  What is more, it is said that the cable has outer cotton layer, so that it doesn't twist or break. It's a good promise.

How about working of those? The ConnectionLAB cables have 192 kHz data transfer rate. The copper conductors prevent signal loss. All of these works perfectly. I have tested these on my Creative headphones and a DVD Pioneer set. The signal was all absolutely fine, the sound is perfect. It's a straight up a high quality product. No matter what people say about insignifficance of the cable and accessories role, no matter the price. ConnectionLAB coaxial cables are totally RECOMMENDABLE!

Supra High-Speed HDMI cable

Today something  different. Accessories post: supra HDMI cables. We use few different types of cables, although we have our better picks (connectionlab) and... worse (supra).
The Supra HDMI cable is of 2 meters. It supports 3D pictures too. Not too long, but fine. The packaging...Blister pack is something very common and does not look too sophisticated, but hey, these are just cables. It's just not too fancy. The cable itself is really thick. Is it good? No way. This is what I personally hate, because I can already imagine it breaking, and this usually happens very soon. The material does not look good either.
Well, I've used it to watch a movie on my blue ray player. The view was decent, or maybe I just thought so, because I was already biased because of the poor quality of the cable, as it seemed. but I realised that the view is really good. The blue ray quality was just perfect in fact, so I couldn't complain but... The sound was not. I am not sure if this was the case of one particular cable or really its size had something to do with it but the soud was awful. Well, if awful is too much to say, let me just say it's incredibly different, comparing it to the picture. I have mixed feelings bout this cable.
And it will not be my choice again.
