I want to purchase a top qualily (Below US$1K if possible) short 48Gbps HDMI Cable. Considering perhaps the Audioquest Vodka 48 or Audioquest Thunderbird 48.

The cable will be used to connect my Appletv X to my Audiopraise VanityPRO. The Vanity Pro is connected to the projector with an Audioquest Cherry Cola 15m hdmi cable.

Has anyone done an audio and/or video comparision of HDMI cables? Best Hdmi cable? Please share
 
Carbon sounds better than the Vodka in my experience.

According to that mysterious loudspeaker manufacturer the Carbon is the best in their whole HDMI line up.

I recently compared the Wireworld 1 meter Platinum Starlight HDMI to three different Blue Jeans 3 meter cables (series1, 4 and FE). Going from the ATVX to an LG TV.
The Blue Jeans FE series is by far the best. It is the sharpest and most detailed with the best color saturation.
Note : The B.J. FE series is 18G 4k.
By comparison the W.W. looks washed out and not nearly as sharp. Actually it is the worst of the bunch.
1M W.W. = $800.
3M Blue Jeans FE = $21.50.

There is another company who makes HDMI cables:

Lanedri cables are made with the same process as the QSA HDMI cables.
I've neither seen them or tried them. But if there is one HDMI cable worth trying and comparing to others, it is this one.
