The Ugly Truth: Cables, cables, cables

Cables, can't live with them, can't live without them...
I have dedicated a fair amount of my time to eliminate cables. Wireless speakers, wireless X-Box 360 connection, 11 mb WiFi, cordless phone, BT headset, you name it. But Hi quality audio and video requires cables, its as simple as that.

The backside is always the backside
This is the backside of the AVR 3806 Receiver and the DVD 1920. And cables can be expensive. Its not unusual to pay €100 for a couple of feet HDMI cable. I cant really say if it makes a difference, but after investing in the hardware, it seems like risky business to be cheap on the cables... I have connected 6 + 1 speakers (2 front, 1 center, 2 satellites, one rear and one sub bass), one X-Box through component video + optical audio, the DVD through HDMI and both optical and Coaxial sound, a cassette deck, a VCR (as TV tuner), the LCD-TV and output to the projector via HDMI. It's a whole lot of cables.
