What do you mean, you don’t have a $1400 wooden volume knob to help suppress harmonics? Coupled with a True DC source with microvolt ripple for your final stages It’s like lifting a veil from the sound stage!
Edit: No, seriously, there are people like that.
This company used to sell a $400 wooden knob some 15 years ago. They still sell a lot of stuff like that for the True Audiophile.
I should sell a full line of audiophile goods, including door knobs, jackets, and wallets. The key is in the resonant frequency of our products, they will really lift the veil and not hamper the sound waves traveling through the room, but instead enhance them with constructive interference.
Cables can make a difference. If you’re running HDMI 2.1 to get full HDR video and uncompressed HD 5.1 or 7.1 audio, then you should use a certified cable because it’s a lot of information moving across a cable very quickly. I’ve tried cheap Amazon cables before and they fail. They get too hot and the devices lose handshake and shut off or throw errors. But once you have a cable that’s rated and certified for your intended use, it’s not going to get much better.
cables can absolutely make a difference, but it’s still easy to get a quality cable without paying for the extra cost of someone having marketed it as “audiophile” gear. Keep in mind the commenter was talking about switches and servers
Most digital signals carry extra data for error correction even if there is issues with the electrical signal due to distance and EM interference.
Cable issues like what you’re talking about should only be happening on cables carrying analog signal, and that should be solvable with basic, dirt cheap shielding in the cable itself.
Yeah, like it needs to be super long. That’s why you see it more in Ethernet cables and why they have better shielding. With HDMI it’s not as big of a deal because they’re so short.

(Don’t know how many veils a soundstage can actually have, but apparently, it’s a lot).
I remember the wooden knob. It’s not even the most outrageous item that was available.
Audiophile servers and Audiophile Switches are the stupidest.
The digital signal will be exactly the same no matter what, you can’t make it cleaner than either a 1 or a 0.

There is still some stuff to worry about but that’s if the cables are long. I don’t think you’re going to get problems from the TV to the speaker.

And expensive little feet to set your $4000 cables on so they don’t touch the ground.
